Yesteryear Collection - Waring & Gillow

Waring & Gillow: The Warings & Gillow liveried Crossley which was painted dark green with a black chassis and off white canopy was released in 1985.

Livery: (Label)
'LONDON W&G MADRID PARIS' in dark brown on white or cream background.
*N.B. White labels have a gloss surface and cream labels have a matt surface.
(Tampo)
'WARINGS' in gold with black outline to letters on both sides of truck body.

Variations/Rarities: The waring & Gillow liveried Crossley was always painted dark green with a black chassis.
The wheels were gold 12 spoke and the seats were dark red.
The body sides had been smoothed off by removing the ridge from around the edge making the large "Warings" tampo easier to apply.
The canopy & cab roof can be found in cream or white plastic and the labels applied to the sides of the canopy can have either a cream or a white background to the lettering. The white label was intended to be used on the white canopies and the cream components likewise but the parts were mixed so it is not unnusual to find white labels on cream canopies and cream labels on white canopies.

All Warings & Gillows Crossleys had Y13-Y26 baseplates.
