Notes

Issued during 1963 with a type 3 Leyland grille, this classic Dinky bus with spun wheels is a difficult version to find. This example presents well with a lustrous original vibrant red and cream paint finish, treaded tyres. Complete sloping lettering on both sides (tiniest of dots on one letter).
Presents very well indeed.

D290e6832

An honest example with a few minor marks mostly at two wheel arches.
The correct lighter yellow pictorial box is vividly-coloured, complete with all end flaps. Crisp feel to the card. Clean. Correct colour spot for this version. Thin strip of surface loss on one box face and a small tear at the tuck-in part of one large end flap.
More difficult to source in our experience than the green, spun wheel version.
