D988
Dinky 988 ABC TV Transmitter Van. Mint/boxed (slight wear). Includes original aerial dish. From the 1200 model Italian collection.
Notes
Issued between 1962-69, as part of the Dinky range of TV commercial vehicles. This model is in impressive, all original condition, complete with the often missing revolving aerial dish. Perfect transfers on both sides,and notably unrubbed ‘ABC TV’ lettering above the windscreen. Extremely lustrous, as-new paint finish including the silver trim. None of the usual rubs to the roof detailing either. Very nice!
One stray red (factory) mark on one side.
The picture box is bright and complete. No graffiti. Small area of surface loss where a shop price label was removed. Minor shelf grubbiness besides.
