D980
Dinky 980 Coles Hydra Truck. Very near mint/boxed. With Packing Sleeve, box printed instructions. Scarce 2nd issue in ORANGE from The Reference Collection of Dinky models compiled in the U.K.
Notes
Harder to find 2nd issue in orange and black, this Coles Hydra Truck has one side and one rear handle.
Bright fresh ‘Coles’ labels. Looks unused.
No chips to the paint finish – if you are looking to fault it, you could note the minor tarnishing to the silver finish on the stabilisers and wheels.
Comes with the card packing sleeve.
The colourful end flap card box is especially prone to wear given the weight of this truck. This example has fared better than most! Crisp card has resistant end flaps showing that this box has been opened rarely. Small handling tear at an end flap corner. Couple of little box rubs.
Instructions on this second issue are printed on the box side.
