Notes
A sought-after model from the Dinky range of BBC vehicles made between 1959-64. A deep lustrous shade of green with a pale grey stripe and complete detailed decals on both sides.
So often the detachable dish goes astray – nice to see this one is still present! Few little marks to the paint finish on the back edge of the cab roof. Another couple of marks at side of vehicle, top edge. Mark at one front edge of the cab roof.
Nice bright ladder components and baseplate/metal parts generally.
The box is bright, complete with no splits. Minor age wear including a small stain/light rubbing at one corner of the lid. Few little creases. Penned ‘’2000’ at one side of the lid. Vibrant colours throughout including the lower half of the box, not covered by the lid. Both packing pieces are included.
Nice to see the Instruction Leaflet and Quality Control Tag are still present too:
The deep blue box base has no sunfading. Very minor shelf wear only.
