Notes

This fine Dinky military vehicle was issued between 1963-71 and this is one of the nicest examples we have seen in a long while, with an intact propellor (so often these are broken!) and the complete complement of crates and barrels stowed.

This model has a matte military green finish with driver. The paint finish is fine but there is some glue to the seating area. It appears that the two crates were attached at some time (since there are traces of glue on the crates). The barrels have no trace of glue on them.
This item comes in an attractive, bright, clean pictorial box, with intact end flaps. Looking close to shop-fresh with vivid clean colours on crisp card. A little light creasing.

There is also an easily-overlooked small puncture (caused by the driver) which has pressed back into place. Shopkeeper’s price label at an end flap.
