Notes
A classic Dinky model issued during 1954 marking the transition from the older numbering from 31A to 450. This van has a glossy vibrant red finish with red wheels, bright baseplate and very nearly perfect – perfect ‘ESSO’ transfers on both sides (one little nick on one side, couple of mere dots besdies).
Little casting mark on the front of the roof. One smooth tyre has a light flat spot.
The harder to find transition numbered box is bright and complete. A little minor age wear/grubbiness and two little stain spots.
