Another toy that would have been bought during those summer holidays at the seaside, A clockwork Alvis Stalwart auto-tanker.
I've already featured a friction drive Alvis Stalwart auto-tanker made by Clifford toys.
And, using the wheel set up, a Telsada Airport Fire Tender.
This toy looks a lot cheaper than the other two. The wheels are just moulded rather than having a separate hub, and the blue plastic windscreen is very thin acetate.
.
I'm not sure whether the tanker section was originally white like the box photo, as my example looks like its yellowed with age.
It spite of its shortcomings its still a nice little toy 'Stolly', and the wind-up mechanism still works after all this time.
