Notes

Issued during 1963 with a type 3 Leyland grille, this classic Dinky bus with spun wheels is a difficult version to find. This example presents well with a lustrous original deep green and cream paint finish, treaded tyres. Complete lettering on both sides (raised casting dot on one letter).

D290y4681

Just one little mark to the paint finish and a few mere dots besides. This is a very nice fresh example of a scarce variation!
The correct lighter yellow pictorial box is vividly-coloured, complete with all end flaps. Slightly mottled now, hard to fault otherwise. Crisp feel to the card. Correct colour spot for this version.
The best example we have seen in a long while.
