Dinky 280
Dinky 280 Observation Coach. Grey with red flash and wheels. Very near mint/boxed. From The Reference Collection.
Notes
An all original classic Dinky finished in light grey with bright red side flashes and matching wheels, treaded tyres with ‘M’ (for Meccano) stamped. No flat spots.
A fine display piece in all original condition, this coach looks barely handled.
Tiny occasional rub to the red side flashes if you really want to fault it. Minor tarnishing to the base and an axle end.
The box is complete and brightly-coloured. Correct colour spot. Minor handling wear including a couple of grubby marks and a light crease. No tears. Period penned price at an end flap.
