3) As above, although a very slightly deeper pink shade. Longer front axle support. Very near mint.
4) Light blue with deeper blue interior, cream wheels. Well-shaped smooth black tyres.
Very near mint.
Longer front axle support. Couple of retouches.

6)As above but greyish-blue with blue interior. Excellent plus only. Longer front axle support. Light flat spot to smooth rear tyres.
Vivid yellow Dinky trade Box is clean. Tear to the shaped section on one long lid side has had a tape repair at some time. Remains of the original tape which kept the lid closed too. Tape applied at a lid corner seam. Small area of surface loss. Scuffs/storage wear besides. Period penned price on the lid. Nice to see the original dividers present!
