The Orange Cement Mixer

 




The Orange Cement Mixer utilizes the ERF Cab as its base, which was previously used for another model. This particular model remained in the range for six years, with the only notable change being the lengthening of the barrel stem at the front end.

Lesney, the manufacturer, made the decision to create a miniature range by scaling down their larger toys. These miniatures were then packaged in small boxes that resembled matchboxes, giving rise to the "MATCHBOX SERIES" name.

 While the package itself may show signs of aging due to long storage, the product inside, the Orange Cement Mixer, is still in new condition.
