FD578
French Dinky 578 Simca Cargo Tipper Truck. Very, very near mint/boxed (in scarce RED-BANDED box). From The European Collection.
Notes
A fine unused example of this Dinky truck with a lustrous deep green cab and chassis, silver back. Very bright axles, and metal fittings generally. Smooth running original tyres. Spare stowed. Looks shop-fresh throughout!
If you really want to fault it , you could note the tiny marks on the front bumper.
The yellow picture box, rare with the red band detail at the end flaps, is a typically snug fit (common to most French Dinky items) but thankfully there is only minor wear and certainly no punctures! Clean and bright. No serrated tab. Tiny end flap seam start of a tear.
