FD582
French Dinky 582 Citroen Breakdown Truck 'DINKY TOYS'. Very, very near mint/boxed. Concave wheels issue. From the Italian collection.
Notes
A fine gleaming example of this nicely finished Citroen Breakdown vehicle, made between 1956-59 under this re-numbering. Such a lustrous finish throughout, with complete ‘DINKY SERVICE’ lettering on both sides, a very bright winding handle, and baseplate. Hard to imagine better! This truck has rarely seen the light of day.
You have to really search to find the couple of negligible marks. Metal tow hook version and deeper red concave wheels.
The pictorial box is very clean, fresh and bright. Complete with all end flaps intact. Barely any wear at all. Indeed, this box looks virtually shop-fresh (couple of small creases).
