SAMPLE Road Series Unimog with pipe trailer. I know it's in an Autoway box, see next picture. Not too sure where I bought this, but I didn't know what it was until I opened it up at home
Box end showing the Road Series catalogue number
Mercedes signs on the doors are cut out from the grill sticker/decal, compare with a production version
Sticker on the underside

Okay, as promised
First up Road Series Unimog with Autoway pipe trailer
-
Its great to see picture of the unimog Box looks mint to. I a have been hunting for years for one of those in its box have a unboxed one but not boxed. have you got a lot of road series in your collection?
I have most if not all of the road series, not all boxed. Somewhere I have a SAMPLE ONLY marked Unimog, trying to track it down at the moment
a nice 9888 set there paul
does the pipe trailor have autoway stickers on?Its a full Autoway trailer in yellow complete with Autoway stickers, I do have a boxed Road Series one somewhere though.
Pictures to follow........................... hopefully
-
Interesting labels, perhaps produced for a chain store, going by the description on pic. 2 label?
A few pictures of 9888
Last one, I hope you don't mind this being posted here? A Road Series Unimog with Autoway Pipe Trailer, as bought

I have 3 of these sets all seem to be the same numbers all have the compressor and all the land rovers have black roofs with black tail gates. I have never seen a landrover with the yellow roof but hope to find one some day
All boxed? Pictures please to include any box labels/numbers/markings.
A yellow truck cabbed LR would be a nice find, I reckon only as a pre production model though! The hardtop was available in yellow on the BT LR, not to sure if the same shade of yellow though.
wow sounds like you have some collection there
yes your right it is good to see someone else collecting them do you sell any i need sets 9888 and 9889 pm me if you have duplicates that you might sell9888 came my way recently, LR has a black hard top and tail gate. I'll post pictures
paul there is more numbers on the box one end has 9891 the other end has a sticker with R4478G autoway maintenence set M289 the number on the lid ends in R instead of G i will put some pics on soon the landrover possibly has the black top missing thats how i bought it
Look forward to those John, another un-catalogued variation
-
last few pics
Just looking through this thread catching up on the recent activity and happened to look at the label on this box set which states "This Special Autoway Set" and also "compressor not included" although it appears to have been included from the off! Another set to seek out
Does it have any more numbers on the box appart from the two shown on the front? Also looking at the box art the Land Rover has the yellow truck cab as depicted on the LR from set 9891 as shown in the 1989 catalogue. I suspect that your LR came with a black truck cab as it has a black tail gate.-

started to re-assemble the Volvo today. got a little touching up to do where the white paint found a seam under the taped areas but nothing major
What about using liquid mask in this sort of area?
-
It appears to be missing its tilt. Perhaps an end of line mongrel
-
A recent purchase. I'e seen one of these before somewhere, as the box art/picture is ringing a very feint bell, but cannot remember where
It's not listed anywhere as far as I can tell although it does have some numbers on the box and sleeve. Maybe it was put together for a shop chain a bit like the boots playbase?
The packaging is all original,as far as the seller could tell. I think it's incomplete as there is not enough to hold all objects securely.
There appears to be too many men with spades and not enough with stop/go signs and no cones, easily sorted though.

Hi paul not to sure about the BT LR colour not got one
----yet 
notice your deutz has black decals and it looks a deeper yellow is it?
I'm liking your cube' shelf edger and poster i'll have to look out for them although not seen shelf edger before are they quite rare?
I have a spare one, without the hardtop though
BT LR's do appear on eBay quite often(ish)Yep a little darker but not much in it.
Only ones I've seen are the ones I have. There is also a cardboard shop display stand out there somewhere, not found one yet

what's not the same colour as BT LR ?
Sorry, was a question as to whether the BT Land Rover was the same colour yellow or not.
Love the box set, a hard one to find. I know, eBay now!
Some of mine. Deutz Dx110 with replacement cab on cardboard cube

I have one or two or more
but not all of them.I won/bought a Deutz with the Volvo wheels, via eBay, all the way from Ireland. When it turned up it was a green one with red Volvo wheels that had been spray painted all over yellow, and obviously painted yellow at that. An honest trader though, who refunded me all monies without a making a song and dance about it when I returned it. I did see a 7710 with Chevrons decals on the bonnet instead of the FORD 7710 decals, as shown in the '84 catalogue.
The black decal'd Volvo's were originally released in the Farm range with a 9590 cat. number, so I don't suppose many came out in an Autoway box although shown in the '84 catalogue.
With regards 9887, 9888 and 9889 I don't have any of them
..................... yet 
It's not the same colour yellow as the BT LR is it?
What's the significance of the blue inner trays?

I was going to post mine up but you've beaten me to it, lovely collection though.
Interesting pair of Volvo 2654's, hadn't seen one on normal style wheels before, did that one come with the black decal'd cab?
The boxed set(s) seems to be the hardest to find along with the very early Deutz and Ford with Volvo style wheels, unless these where catalogue versions only!
What ones are you seeking? Have you any road series?

are you going to get a bonnet decal set done for this as there is no 6600 model in real life,the 6600 is the range,i think this was brought up in a britains topic
Not this one as I collect Britains Farm toys. Hopefully Britains will get it right at some point, most likely with a loader!
Got a picture of it Paul? Would like to see what it looks like!
Pictured elsewhere I believe, but as requested
As noted before not much detail on the back end especially when compared to the MF7480

Britains 42898 MF 6600.
Ordered from Agco on the 23rd Dec and received today. Not a bad turnaround considering Christmas was in the middle of ordering and receiving, I'm impressed.
-
Hey Sean,do you reckon you might have enough parts to knock up one of these,thought about it a few times myself,I think the curved roof would be the tricky bit,??
Regards
Joe.
Try the truck cab from the short wheel base

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/141136547906?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Does this Industrial DDN look like a respray to anyone? I think it's original (it had better be at that price!)
Looks okay to me, lot of bread but hey find another. Repaints stand out, to me anyway unless a poor picture, colour matching that paint appears to be difficult and painted cabs and trailers do not have a translucent look to them were the light shines through. Going by previous items sold by this seller this is 100% genuine as he lists items if repainted, whatever colour.
It looks to good to be an original for the age but you never know.A little concerned that the spade and the clips are missing for that sort of money.A very rare and sort after model.You have just got to be very careful these days with all these conversions and re-sprays about.
Spades and clips are probably the first things to get lost, so not unusual, closely followed by the cab and implement lift attachment/device probably. I only have one clip but only because it's tied to the spade with thread!
Going by the box condition it would be very difficult to replicate the original looking wear around the edges but as far as the tractor goes I would be just a tad cautious, would the rear wheels not be showing a degree of the old wheel melt by now?, or was that just reserved for the later 5000?
I have one with this wheel/tyre combination they are perfect too.

Showing my age now, but I had one of these new and still have part of it.................. the cow. and the chassis
A lovely trailer, probably my favourite, but so fragile
Boxed ones are almost as rare as the proverbial rocking horse doings
-
some large sheets of 40 thou plastikard for another flat bed artic trailer I'm planning, also some corrugated plastikard and tread plate plastikard, pick up my zwolle buys tomorrow from Brian's, so pics tomorrow night
By tread plate do you mean chequer plate? where from?
Thanks chaps

My green Acrobat Rake straw box is dated 1978 but they(straw box) may have been used right up to the end of 1981 when Acrobat Rake was deleted, chevron box came out in 1980 ish! but not necessarily for all models straight away..............
As Steve said they are very difficult to find. I used to ask ebay sellers what colour it was in the box as pictures of boxed ones are not always clear, it got me one in the end
