Notes
This early Dinky Routemaster Bus displays well – with all the nice details not present in the later issues.Complete transfers and labels throughout, this Esso Bus looks as if it has rarely been out of its box. Shiny spun wheels, conductor and driver. Ribbed roof (happily free from the usual rubbing).
Fine tread original tyres look as-new.
Very few marks only, that you have to hunt for.
The colourful picture box shows the “SCHWEPPES” version (issued at the same time – this model often turns up with this box) and is very bright and fresh – it looks great on display with the Routemaster. Minor age wear only.
