Dinky Toys 972 20-Ton Lorry-Mounted "COLES" Crane

Price: £145.00
Notes
This large and detailed Crane Truck has a vivid and lustrous orange and deep yellow finish.
This is the early issue, so it has two blue metal drivers, no “Long Vehicle” sign, and metal ridged Supertoy wheels. Complete “COLES” lettering at the rear.
Presents nicely. With the realistic working features of hoisting, jib raising and slewing, it is no wonder that this truck is rarely found in mint condition!
A couple of little marks to the paint finish as you might expect. Couple of small tyre flat spots.
The large, deep, striped Supertoys box is bright and puncture-free. Colours are unfaded and that includes the deep blue box base. A little edge rubbing/small scuff /light handling wear. A little tape residue to base.
Both card packing pieces are included as well as the Dinky Quality Control Tag.
