Notes
Such a scarce 1st type issue (1947-48) in this colour, with its rear axle located in tin clips, and no triangular lugs at side of the number plate. It has a lustrous brown cab and chassis, mid-green back and wheels. Small hook. Bolt fixing and baseplate have minor tarnishing. Silver trim. Paint finish is rich and shiny. Complete with spare wheel.
An honest (no retouches!) example with chipping at some raised edges/details, mostly at flat bed edges. Smooth original tyres run well.
The correct early buff box is bright and the card feel sturdy and crisp. No splits. Paper label has a couple of very small stains. Note the lightly-pencilled ‘GUY LORRY’ written above the Dinky print (light pencilled lines through GUY FLAT TRUCK, too). Similar treatment to the printing at both short lid ends.
