GENERAL INFO
Replacing the 1A after a short run, the 1B York Trailer was available in C, D and E boxes as well.
The C box has a different front and back where the model is slightly more to the left on one side. It shows the model in red with yellow wheels and front bumper and has the Davies Tyres label on the container. The end flaps show NEW MODEL.
The D box has the same label as well, and the colorful picture shows the cab and rear doors in orange. Black wheels complete the illustration.
Luckily enough, Lesney made an E box for this model, unlike other models in the range such as 8A. It shows the model with LEP labels, and a background scene of an airport.
Boxes for this model are 120 X 38 X 48.
RARITY
The E box is harder to find.
