Matchbox 30b; Magirus-Deutz Six Wheel Crane

This handsome model came into the range in 1961 and was deleted in 1965, through most of its production the chassis/cab is silver metallic and the jib is orange. Very early, possibly pre-production prototypes, are tan in colour with red or orange/red jibs. These are vanishingly rare and very valuable.

The silver ones have grey wheels, silver wheels or black wheels. They vary slightly in price according to scarcity: 1-grey, 2-silver, 3-black.
