Notes
One of the advertising vans from this popular range from Dinky. This is a harder to find earliest version with cream wheels, note that 470 is stamped on the base too (DInky simply used up the 470 baseplates from the SHELL Austin Van, un-numbered baseplates were to follow).
Bright gold ’Nestle’s’ lettering on both sides, shining silver detailing at the radiator and bumpers. Smooth original tyres (one tyre has a flat spot).
Not a trace of fading to the vivid red finish. Nestle’s lettering is virtually perfect on one side, few little marks on the other. Little marks to the paint finish at some exposed edges/raised details. Minor tarnishing to the baseplate.
