Dinky Toys 982 Pullmore Car Transporter & Trailer

Notes

This classic Dinky pairing presents so well especially with a fresh-looking striped Supertoys box. A little more unusual in this presentation with the ramp included – earlier issues did not include a ramp which was available separately.
This particular issue is was made toward the end of the production run with window glazing and treaded tyres, in the Supertoys box with italicised print. Mid-blue cab and hubs and a paler blue back including the decks.

Complete ‘DINKY TOYS DELIVERY SERVICE’ lettering on both sides, one little nick to the rear lettering on the drop down tailgate. Large baseplate print with 982 stamped on the trailer. The sheen on this model shows that it has been handled only occasionally. Well-shaped treaded tyres run well.

Hard to find a mark to the paint finish – especially noteworthy is that it is virtually free of marks around the hinged ramp! One of the rivets has been poorly formed and fitted.
The ‘Dinky Supertoys’ striped box with italicised print is the slightly wider version, since it does contain the ramp (printed on the box too). It is complete and bright, feeling sturdy. Light wear and a small strip of surface loss on one short lid end.

Dinky 794 Loading Ramp is in virtually mint condition, and the yellow card end flap-style box is complete, fresh and bright. Scarcely any wear at all.
