Item Description and Bidding/ Shipping Cost and Policy/ Payment Instructions: One (1) Matchbox Lesney Ford Refuse Truck 7 c1, with notched loader (notch vs. no notch is shown in last two photos respectively ), no tow guide variation. This superb model is in very near mint (please see grading criteria below) code 1 condition from my collection. It was introduced in January, 1967 and was sold in this type only (Mack). There exist 7 distinct Stannard sub-variant code types. This is a Stannard code 6 (A-C-C) with A type base without tow g uide, C type solid loader toe and C type braced containe r. It is approximately 75 mm in overall length. Please carefully examine the high definition photos for the fine, flawless code 1 original p aintwork detail. T he windows are clean and factory clear. The plastic container is as new. The black plastic wheels are in perfect working condition and show no use. The unpainted base and grille assembly is very bright . The loader operates as it should. There are no casting defects. This Ford Refuse Truck will display as new. Additional photographs can be sent to your e-mail address and questions will be entertained up to 4 hours prior to auction end. I make the free box which will be sent with the model. I use them to display my own collection which then allows me to carefully store my original boxes. They are constructed of correct weight tag board, square and functionally perfect, fresh and colourful, meticulously detailed inside and out . They are laser printed so they will be somewhat glossier than an original Lesney era box, which was printed with lithography. This box is intended for display and storage purposes with a genuine Lesney Products model only. We always ship multiple purchases combined. If you are concerned about international shipping cost, ask us for an estimate of total shipping and we will promptly reply. Free shipping, if offered, is for U.S. customers only . We will, however, offer our international customers the very best rate available (ignore the eBay shipping calculator!) consistent with safe shipping practises. We use sturdy new packing materials whenever possible. Quick note on payments: Our policy is to allow bidding on two consecutive weeks' auctions prior to payment. While prompt payment is always appreciated; if possible, please wait until after I send an invoice to you , usually after the closing of the last item in the week's auction. That way, I can be sure I have captured all of the items you have won in order to combine shipping to you. Having said that, If you do not receive an invoice within 24 hours of the end of the last item in this week's auction, please request one. If your purchases will span two consecutive weeks' auctions, please let us know so we may segregate the items you have won pending the outcome of the following week's auction. Thank you for looking and bidding! 2. Codes and Grading : CODE 1 means no paintwork restoration or mechanical repair has been performed on the model based upon personal knowledge or careful inspection under magnification and UV light. CODE 3 means that we have carefully restored some paintwork imperfections and/or made a mechanical repair, for example, such as to straighten a bent axle. If we believe such repair or restoration was done by others, we will disclose our opinion in the listing. Note: '+' or 'plus' indicates the upper range of the grade meaning better than average condition for a given grade. FC = Fair condition, CODE 1, unrestored, offered as-is. Significant paintwork, applique, and/or mechanical flaws will exist which will be evident in the photos or disclosed if not visible. This grade is commonly known as 'well played with' and significant play wear will be evident . We normally will not sell such models individually unless recommended for parts or restoration or if the model is particularly rare. Some or all of the original complement of accessories may have gone missing. GC = Good condition, CODE 1 unrestored, offered as-is. N... read more
