D408
Dinky 408 Big Bedford Lorry. Very near mint/boxed. Deep maroon & tan, fawn wheels. Scarce box variation with white & yellow model pictured! From The East Netherlands Collection.
Notes
Issued during 1957 (Dinky stamp inside the box lid), this model has a reddish-maroon and tan colour finish with deep fawn wheels, silver trim, grey treaded tyres, including the spare.
A few small marks only – mostly at a rear side edge.
The yellow lift-off lid pictorial box is complete, clean, bright and fresh. Very minor wear only.
Note the most unusual colour finish of the model pictured on one side of the box. Needless to say a Big Bedford in yellow and white was never produced! (It should show a blue and yellow version).
