This Dinky heavyweight Diesel Roller was made between 1965-71.
Virtually complete – complete ‘Master Pavior’ labels on both sides and perfect paper logo ‘INVICTA’ on the front.
Lots of features on this late issue Dinky:
Tilting and rotating front roller, cab has windows which slide open, grey plastic engine covers may be lifted for inspection – this model even makes a ticking noise when pushed along!
Near mint plus paint finish with a few little marks at some raised points.
Vividly-coloured card pictorial box is bright, fresh and complete. Crisp, showing minimal handling.
