Notes

An essential item in your Dinky commercial collection, this Guy van was made during Dinky’s heyday and is part of the sought-after range of advertising vans made during the mid-late 1950’s.
In very near mint, all original condition throughout, this ‘Ever Ready’ model has a shining mid-blue paint finish and virtually perfect detailed transfers on both sides.

Upon close inspection, one may see a little casting defect just above the letter ‘S’ of batteries – otherwise difficult to fault!
There is a little light peppering to the lettering above the cab.

None of the usual marks at wheel arches, cab roof etc. (indeed the cab is mint) – this van is in exceptional fresh and bright, unused condition throughout!

There are a couple of the tiniest dots at the rear door handles as is so usual for this model, and a couple of micro dots besides. A little rusting to the metal posts at the rear doors.
