D987
Dinky 987 ABC TV Mobile Control Room. Very near mint/boxed. Early issue with metal wheels. Complete with accessories.
Notes
Issued between 1962-69. This van is in original condition with a pale blue, grey and silver paint finish. A very fine, fresh and bright example indeed:
Earlier issue with metal wheels. Window glazing.
Close scrutiny reveals a minor rub to one letter ‘T’ at the side and a little rub to the lettering on the cab head-on.
Nice to find this example complete with the camera man, camera and camera cables.
The yellow picture box is very clean and vividly-coloured with just one carefully repaired corner split to the lid (easily overlooked). Minimal wear besides.
Not easy to find this early example in such fine condition!
