Description: Lyon Car's reference 59 was produced in the late 1970s and continued into the 1980s. The 2800 series appeared in 1977. It was thus several years behind the real truck, which was released in 1973. The model we are offering here seems to be from the very beginning of the series' production, i.e., between 1977 and 1981. Indeed, from 1982 onwards, Lion Car would market the same model with the same reference, but presenting it as the 3300 cabin, because DAF was simultaneously launching this new cabin to replace the 2800. The model presented has a very specific particularity: the zamak wheels are painted gray. This is very uncommon for this model. Indeed, you will generally find it with black wheels. On other models, Lion Car also used red to paint the wheels. But it is very rare to see these trucks with gray-painted wheels. This promotional model, commissioned by TruckCare, a European wholesaler of heavy-duty truck parts, is rare in collections. We also appreciate the presence of the complete and well-preserved, slightly worn, blue and white Lion Car Nr.59 box. Superb opportunity
