Matchbox/Lesney 60b; Leyland Site Hut Truck

 Matchbox 1-75 Range

This is the sort of die-cast I really like. It is a Leyland flat-bed truck like we saw every day of our lives, well made and modelled, really competent stuff. It is supposed to have a site hut office on the back but most of the unboxed examples you will see will have lost it.

The Office Site Truck (60b) was added to the range in 1966 as a regular wheels model, upgraded to Superfast in 1970 and deleted in 1971. There are no really rare versions. The one to look for is dark blue with Superfast wheels.
