Notes
A classic Dinky advertising van made between 1955-59. A vibrant red and yellow paint finish to this attractive Dinky van:
Shiny base and the grey original tyres each have a slight flat spot (caused by being in one position for a long time).
Rear doors open and close easily. The *distinctive transfers are virtually complete – complete. A few little marks at the rear doors as you might expect and very close inspection reveals a few very small touch-ins.
The original pictorial box is bright and complete. The Dinky stamp inside the box lid dates this example 1955 (the first year of production of this model). Corner crush (slight surface separation at this point) and light wear besides. The vibrant blue box lower has barely any wear save for rusty staples.
