Details
The King Size line was renamed “Super Kings” in 1971, alluding to new “Superfast” wheels.
The Super Kings line for 1971 included the K-1) Scammel Heavy Wreck Truck (120 mm long)...K-8) Caterpillar Traxcavator (106 mm long and a non-Superfast model)...K-29) Miura Seaburst Set with Lamborghini Miura towing Seaburst Boat on Trailer (252 mm long).
As one can see, the King Size product line was growing rapidly – important if Lesney was to compete with the likes of Corgi Toys.
