Topdog Presents: Always Interesting Toys and Models!

 

 

Offered here is a vintage Matchbox Superkings K-17, the Scammell Crusader Container Truck decorated in the iconic "Gentransco" London-Paris livery, first released by Lesney in 1973 as part of their larger-scale Superkings diecast line. This model replicates the real-world Scammell Crusader articulated tractor unit, finished here in metallic red with a yellow interior and clear windows, paired with a low-loader trailer carrying two detachable "Gentransco" shipping containers, each printed with export/import markings and "LONDON-PARIS" routing text reflecting the cross-Channel freight haulage the model was designed to evoke. True to Superkings' "Snap-Lock" trailer system advertised on the box, the trailer features a jockey wheel and detachable containers with opening loading doors, allowing the set to be played with much like the full-size hauliers it was modeled after.

The model is presented in its original window box, printed "MATCHBOX SUPERKINGS K-17 SCAMMELL CRUSADER CONTAINER TRUCK, fitted with HEAVY DUTY SUPERFAST WHEELS," with the box art depicting the truck in action along with a diagram of the container-loading play feature.

Condition: the truck and trailer assembly itself displays well, with bright, clean red bodywork, intact Gentransco container graphics on both containers, and all wheels present and rolling freely; the tractor cab, trailer bed, and containers all appear complete and undamaged. The original box shows notable wear consistent with its age and having been shelved for decades: the top display card is clipped/cut as pictured (a common way period retailers or previous owners opened these window boxes), along with general corner and edge wear, some creasing, and light structural softening to the box. This is offered primarily as a strong, complete example of the model itself with correct original packaging, rather than a pristine "mint in box" example. A great piece for the vintage Matchbox Superkings or commercial diecast collector.
