Notes
It is exciting enough to find any Dinky model in shop-fresh condition ? how rare it is to find classic Dinky commercial models in this condition!
An outstanding example of this Dinky commercial vehicle issued during 1953, in mid (French) blue (not violet or light blue) with a red flatbed, paler blue, grooved Supertoy wheels.



Supertoys on the base, large painted hook, rear axles in cast lugs:


With a day-one lustre throughout, this truck just gleams! Upon close inspection, one may find a little marking at some wheel arches and there are two small marks at cab roof edge.
A beautiful, unused example nonetheless:


The dark blue box is bright and intact with a complete picture label. Crisp feel to the clean card which has been well stored and rarely handled.

A couple of small rubs. Trace of old shopkeeper’s price on the lid. Original packing piece sits behind the cab (rare).
Delightful example which is especially eye-catching on display. Sure to become a favourite! When will you see another as fine?
