Notes
Issued during 1954 in this dual-numbered Trade Carton.
Both models looks completely unused and rarely handled. Both have a very fresh and vibrant deep green and yellow finish with yellow wheels, detailed black interior, complete with taxi driver. Matt black bases with 254 numbering. 1 example has well-shaped smooth original tyres, the other has treaded.
The card pictorial boxes are bright and very crisp, bearing the correct colour spots. Light wear and ‘foxing’ in places.
Dinky Toys Trade Carton would have housed 6 boxed examples originally. Very light wear onky and remains of the original tape which kept the end flaps closed.
