D402
Dinky 402 Bedford 'Coca-Cola' Truck. Very, very near mint/boxed. Sought-after model from the Italian collection.
Notes
Issued between 1966-69, this Bedford Truck is in very fine, all original, unused condition with a vivid red and white finish, complete load of crates, and intact paper labels throughout. Excellent labels (often these can get very worn indeed) with minor age transparency only.
Lovely unmarked white roof.
Looks barely handled with none of the expected marking to the white front bumper either.
Couple of mere dots away from mint. We have not seen better!
The attractive pictorial end flap box is clean, bright and complete. Nearly always with torn end flaps due to the weight of the model inside these comparatively flimsy boxes. Little tear to the tuck-in part of both large end flaps. Thin strip of surface removal at an end flap. Still presents well with the decorative period scene proving a fine backdrop to this Bedford Truck.
A desirable Dinky item which is getting scarce.
