Notes

Later issue made between 1959-65, this fine French Dinky Fire Engine is in all original and complete condition with the brightest red and silver finish, and concave red painted wheels. Not a trace of dulling to the metal parts – they are gleaming bright. The silver original detailing is very fresh with clean, fine original white treaded tyres and a white steering wheel.

Note that this model has the re-numbering from the earlier issue (32D stamped on the unpainted base).
Barely a mark. Note the the front rivet is not ‘proud’ of the base, but it is satisfactory and as-made.
The bright and clean, correct for this issue grey inner is complete and fresh with the nearly always missing extra packing piece.

Tiny tear at a wheel slot.
Complete with the delightful Instruction Leaflet, too.

The striped Supertoys picture box is bright and clean with no splits, graffiti or any of the usual rubbing at the edges of the box lid. Note that this late issue box has the large blue rectangle around the Dinky number at the lid ends.
Minimal shelf rubbing to the vivid purple-blue box base.
A superb example, both model and box.
