Notes

This Dinky collector had the opportunity to purchase a group of colour trial models and unfinished items upon the closure of the Meccano Factory in 1980.
This is one of these models
.

Most similar to the promotional Routemaster Bus ‘Meccano’ but this example has different seating upstairs and downstairs and has a silver section at the front. Combination of left over parts? A curiosity – and never issued. One-piece wheels/tyres and a silver base.
Very near mint.
