D917
Dinky 917 Mercedes-Benz Truck & Trailer. Near mint plus (with both wing mirrors)/boxed. From The Continental Collection.
Notes
A Dinky heavyweight two piece set made between 1968-74. A shining mid-blue and yellow finish on both items, complete with white detachable tilts. Truck has a white roof and red interior. Jewelled headlights and number plates (front and rear). Nice to see that both wing mirrors are present and intact.
A little rubbing to the front bumper and note that one of the headlights is rather askew.
The detailed card sleeveis clean and bright, although there is some ruffling/tearing at wheel slots ( this is a heavy item!).
The all card outer box is complete and bright. Early issue with additional over-stuck label ‘First with opening cab doors’. One end flap has a tear. Minor wear besides.
