Notes
This classic Dinky truck was issued for some sixteen years in total (1964-72), this version having a metallic green cab, is a late issue presented in the harder to find end flap picture box with a white background. Model is inclose to mint condition with both REFUSE WAGON labels at the sides, as well as an intact chevron label at the rear. Perfect crest transfers on both sides of the vivid green cab. All delicate deep grey rear opening shutters are intact.
None of the usual chipping head-on, showing that this truck has had careful handling only.
Couple of small chips at a wheel arch and a light rub at an exposed edge.
Both plastic bins are present, complete with removable lids!
The pictorial lift-off lid box with a white background is clean, bright, fresh and complete. Resistant end flaps show that this box has had minimal handling. Hard to find this good! Barely any wear.
