Variations/Rarities: The body sides were again modified when there were found to be problems with the tampo printing of the yellow liveried Weetabix.
*The positioning of the logo was slightly altered, and the two horizontal recessed lines on the van body sides were reduced in depth by about half (Type 3 body).
Apart from the red or dark red wheel colour there were no other variations and no rarities.

Total production run was 40,000.
