Notes
An original example of this classic Dinky Supertoy which was renumbered 971 in 1954.
Early issue – so note that this example does not have ’COLES lettering or indeed the chevron markings at the rear. Deep yellow and matt black, with yellow grooved Supertoy wheels. With tan driver. Brass winding handle cuffs.
The model is in close to mint condition with a little exposed edge marking.. Original grey radial tyres are well-shaped, save for one which has a light flat spot.
The striped Dinky Supertoys box (italicised not upright print) has only the most minor wear. Complete Hudson Dobson (U.S. export label). Original packing insert* is still present.
