Notes
A fine and unused example of this later Dinky heavyweight, made between 1971-80.

Complete ‘Master Paviour’ labels on both sides.
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! More desirable with black rollers.
Sturdy card pictorial box is bright and complete. Minor grubbiness only. Nice to see the usually discarded wrap-around packing piece is still present and intact!
