Manufacturer description

Collectors love circus vehicles and this use of the Commer Commando as an Advance Unit, will complement those support vehicles already in your circus troupe! Decorated in a pale blue/grey with pure white masking to the roof and bright green mudguards and wheel hubs, bold yellow and black lettering along the sides and the back of the van heralds the arrival of Billy Smart's New World Circus. Smart's also appears equally visibly in red above the windscreen. The model is registered NYP 635. An innovative touch is the treatment of the windows, where a printed pattern has been applied to the inside of the window surfaces on both sides to give a curtained or drawn blind effect. The driver's and passenger cab windows remain clear and rounding off the detail, the interior features a pale grey floor, bright blue panels and black cab seating.
