Notes

Issued between 1963-70, this fine Dinky Supertoys model was issued towards the end of the production run. In original condition, complete with all “SHELL” and “B.P.” labels on both sides and rear. Some age transparency to the labels but no parts missing.

This model has a bright white and yellow cab and body, white chassis, and grey plastic hubs. So often, the white plastic tank becomes discoloured and yellowed over time – happy to say that this example is a very bright and fresh white colour. Complete with tow hook and spare wheel still affixed.
Upon minute inspection, one may find a few minor marks at some exposed edges, wheel arches, for example etc.
The end flap pictorial box is the more unusual box presentation, since this model is usually found in the lift-off lid box. This example was produced toward the end of the production run.

D944v2174

So easily damaged since these boxes are comparatively flimsy, this one has survived better than most. Vivid colours on crisp, clean card. Crumples at a couple of corners. Crease. Minor wear besides.
Not an easy find in this condition.
