M8A Mobilgas Tanker + M8B Guy Warrior Car Transporter
The M8A Thornycraft 2400 gallon Petrol Tanker in "Mobilgas" livery, a truly classic 50's Petrol Tanker in a well known livery.
The M8A Thornycraft Petrol Tanker is a classic british tanker from the 50's in the very popular "Mobilgas" livery. Always painted in red and decorated with "Mobilgas" decals nearly all models were fitted with grey plastic wheels, making the version with black wheels quite rare. A rather short production era from 1961 to 1963 only.
The M8B Guy Warrior Car Transporter was replacing the outdated A2 Car Transporter in 1964 and was extremly succesful.
After the old A2 Car Transporter from the 50s was getting to small for most new models in the 1-75 series finally in April 1964 a larger, more powerful successor, the M8 Guy Warrior Car Transporter became available. Turquoise green tractor, orange trailer with "Farnborough Measham / Car Auction & Collection" inscription on the sides. This model was a huge seller. After the end of the Major Pack serie in 1966 this model was taken over into the King Size range in the same colour scheme, the baseplate inscription was simply changed to "K-8".

Product no.: MPM8B00
Very rare Pre-production / colour trial model. Truck is blue with black base, clear windows, without front trim. Complete text on base but differently spaced as on this model the trailer was rivetted to the truck BEFORE the base was fitted so there is no rivet visible at the base. The trailer is orange without any lettering to the base. Metal wheels with black tyres, i think these wheels are unique to this model. Lots of casting differencies to the later production models. In excellent condition with only minor paint chipping, structural excellent. Not many Major Pack pre-pros are known, this one here is most likely a one of a kind model. |
