Released as a Limited Edition in 1982, livery 6 was 'Wrights Coal Tar Soap' which had a brown body with a beige 'Wrights' logo to the sides.

Livery: (Tampo)
Van sides: 'Wrights Original' in dark brown, 'COAL TAR SOAP' in cream with dark brown edging and 'CLEAN AND HEALTHY FAMILY CARE' in dark brown within cream oval.
- 'Wright Layman & Umney Ltd.' in cream.

Variations/Rarities: At the time of production, which was a period of four weeks, the machinery used to apply the brass effect to the plastic components, such as the lights and wheel spokes, broke down. The official factory specification had been for brass/gold, but a number were produced with chrome effect components. Cross-over variations were inevitable.
It can have chrome or gold plated 12 spoke wheels and the grille and windscreen frame can be chrome or gold.
It had a beige or dark brown roof with a beige chassis and rear doors.
The variant with a dark brown roof is rare.
