The fourth and last issue of the London Double Decker Bus, again a AEC Routemaster. Now 70 mm long, always painted red and for the first time equipped with an plastic interior.

Red body, black plastic wheels, "BP visco-static" labels and late "4 line text" base, rare unlisted version with 2-tone cream & white interior instead of the usual white interior. So far only earlier models fitted with waterslide decals are known with creme interiors but i found some later production models with labels and 4 line base fitted with these very hard to find interiors. I bought these from a bus collector's extensive ( 5000+ ) bus collection ( all Matchbox size models ), he had over 50 of these 5D's with some featuring these cream interiors. They are not "faded" through sunlight or smoke, they are moulded in cream plastic! Upper deck is white, lower deck is cream. As the interiors of the 5D buses were cast as two separate parts such miss match combinations are possible. Mint model in near mint box.
