10A

Mechanical Horse & Trailer (Grey)

Production Period: 1955-1957

A splendid model with detachable trailer. Very small scale early Matchbox release.
Such three wheeled vehicles were originally designed to replace horse drawn wagons for local
deliveries. The model is listed as the "Mechanical Horse", but it appears to be based on the
Scammell Scarab which is the successor to the Scammell Mechanical Horse.



10B

Mechanical Horse & Trailer (Tan)

Production Period: 1958-1960

10B is a somewhat larger and slightly more elaborate version of 10A.


10C

Sugar Container Truck (Tate & Lyle)

Production Period: 1961-1965

A nice model based on the Foden 8 wheel sugar tanker. Side and rear decals display the Tate & Lyle company name. Interestingly,
the Tate of Tate & Lyle funded the original Tate Art Gallery.
