D252

Notes

The first example we have seen of this rare transition issue finished in a vibrant and all original orange and pale grey with green tinplate shutters, black radiator and headlight assembly, red cast wheels, glossy black baseplate, window glazing.

In close to perfect condition and looking like old shop stock, this model has just one little mark at the cab roof edge and a negligible dot or two besides. Bright shiny winding handle works well.

Usually, this model is found with green plastic shutters, silver radiator and headlight assembly and red plastic wheels (also in this collection and in itself a difficult find!).
The export red and yellow card box is crisp, complete and quite vividly-coloured. Small puncture caused by the winding handle has pressed back into place. A little faint numbering written at an end flap. Minor wear only.

An exceptional item – and the first we have ever offered for sale!
