Notes
This classic Dinky truck was issued for some sixteen years in total (1964-72), this version having a metallic green cab, is a late issue presented in the card and cellophane ‘window box’. Model is in very close to mint condition with both REFUSE WAGON labels at the sides, as well as an intact chevron label at the rear. Perfect crest transfers on both sides of the vivid green cab. All delicate deep grey rear opening shutters are intact.
Barely a mark to the paint finish. Some of the black plastic wheels are slightly mis-shapen as usual.
Both plastic bins are present, complete with removable lids!
The window box presents nicely with bright colours and an intact original cellophane window. Unpunched header card. Small end flap tear. The bright yellow card inner has a small tear.
