Rarity 5. 298 Alvis Salamander Crash Tender. 1963-66. Budgie models can be stricken with metal fatigue (which causes metal to crumble to dust). This was caused by lead impurities in the zinc alloy castings. This model was affected more than most. As a consequence only a few have survived. This model is pristine and extremely rare.
Rarity 3. 300 Lewin Sweepmaster. 1963-65. Quite hard to find in mint condition. The silver back raises to reveal nothing - you would expect to see machinery moulded but it has been left blank. Cost cutting?
Rarity 2. 302 Commer cabin service lift truck. 1963-66.  Wierd and wonderfully eccentric toy with the box sitting on a working scissor lift and opening doors at either end. Difficult to find with the doors intact.
Rarity 2. 304 Bedford TK Glass Transporter. 1964-66. Comes with 4 panes of polythene 'glass'.
Rarity 4. 306 Fiat Tractor with shovel. 1964-66. Very few of these tractors have survived and are now extremely hard to find. The picture box is even rarer, one of the rarest boxes and the only one I have seen.
