Hi Darryl yes it's a real gem. purchased it about 18 months ago its was a mess, i reckon it was probably laying around in a shed untouched for 50 years. You could barely see any colour under the dirt.hard to say what original colours were as there had been various layers of paint. It was mainly green with red wheels and reel, however when stripped there was signs of gold {paint}on the reel. Have you looked on ebay? there is some interesting documentation with it giving some background to it's history.

Glad it's appreciated by those in the know
cheers Peter
