Notes
Now here’s a rare Dinky commercial – so often missing from even the most extensive Dinky collections! The last version to be made for a short time in 1964, this truck has a deep blue cab and chassis with a light yellow band around the cab, light yellow back (rivetted) and red plastic wheels. Only the third we have ever offered for sale.
Unlike many rare Dinky models sadly nowadays, this is an original item throughout.
Just a couple of little marks at the rear and a few dots visible at exposed edges/corners of the yellow back.
Most unusual to find a mixture of metal (on the cab) and plastic wheels. A transition issue from metal to plastic, and a mixture of both on one model is seen very rarely.
The box is superb and fresh, looking like old shop stock. Barely any wear at all.
A high profile, sought-after Dinky commercial truck in sparkling, close to perfect condition!
