Yellow body, shovel arms and bucket, and silver and engine/base unit. This is the type 1 casting with a diamond on the front but no grille detail. There is a 'Taylor Woodrow' label on the rear of the cab. The shovel arms may be raised and lowered, held in place by a 'hydraulic' ram. The bucket tips forward and back, again held in place by a rams. The cab is glazed and contains a driver figure. Wheels are silver cast metal with black tyres.
This example is in excellent condition, having just a few small paint chips/rubs on the roof and raised body lines. The label is fully intact, the tyres are as new and the axles free of rust. The original end-flap box has very light wear with a crease on one plain side and a mark in the corner of one face where a label has been removed.
