Released in 1985, the Carter's version of the (Y21-2) 1930 Ford Model A Tradesman Woody Wagon remained an unpopular model due to its visibly high plastic content.
Originally packaged in "J" boxes marked Y22 Limited Edition.
'Carters' surplus stock was sold in the D301 twinpack.

Livery: (Tampo)
'CARTERS TESTED SEEDS' in white on blue scroll on both sides of wagon panels.

Variations/Rarities: It can be found with a white or a cream body.
The seats can be light brown, orangy brown or off white.
The 'Carter's' logo can be in light blue or darker blue.
The wheels were chromed 12 spoke which may or may not have whitewall tyres.
The baseplates can be matt black or gloss black and are usually "Matchbox © 1981" but a few have been seen with "Lesney © 1981" baseplates which is becoming increasingly difficult to find.
