FD568
French Dinky 568 Berliet Fire Escape. Near mint plus/boxed with packing & Instruction Leaflet. Scarce model from The Heart of England Collection.
Notes
A sought-after Fire Engine model presented in a colourfully illustrated box with a dramatic fire rescue scene depicted.
Vivid red and silver finish, grey interior, red painted concave wheels. Untarnished ladders. As-new original tyres and bright metal winding handle and cuffs.
Displays well.
Few minor marks at some raised details at the sides and the understandable little marks on the roof support where the ladder rests.
The colourfully illustrated card box is a very fine example indeed: vivid, clean and intact with the French Dinky Factory Control Stamp on the inside of the box lid. Only the most minor wear. Colours are day-one bright throughout including the box base. Traces of the old tape which kept the lid close, and crucially no surface loss. mMInor storage corner crumple to the base.
Inside you will find the card packing insert:
Couple of small tears.
Comes with the often missing Instruction Leaflet too:
