Notes

From one of the largest, private collections we have ever seen, with many items bought new at the time and stored away until now. Taken as a whole, the collection provides an exciting, kaleidoscopic snapshot of popular diecast toys issued during the 1960?s -1970?s.

This is the first issue made in red and yellow with a red cowl, a black engine and paper ‘David Brown 990’ labels. A difficut find especially with a red exhaust (more often found with a yellow exhaust). Fine, supple, original tyres.

One very minor mark on the pale lemon section and a few mnor marks at the rear metal wheels. Paper label radiator detail has a couple of light creases.
The correct, colourful, pictorial box looks like old shop stock. And so crisp!
