D253
Dinky 253 Daimler Ambulance. Near mint plus/boxed. Scarce. From 'The New European Collection'.
Notes
The first we have offered for sale in ages in our experience, the cream or matt white version comes up for sale more often.
This version has a gloss white finish, red cast hubs and window glazing.
Lovely shining baseplate has large print. Fine original tyres.
Very few marks on this most unforgiving of colours. Two partial thickness chips and the occasional little dot besides.
The correct later (lighter yellow) picture box is complete with all end flaps, although one has a little creasing and a couple of very small tears. Some age/handling wear besides.
Issued between 1960-62.
