D273
Dinky 273 Mini Minor Van 'RAC'. Near mint/boxed. Very fresh box! From a beautiful, single-owner collection, some 25 years in the making.
Notes
Issued between 1965-70, this Mini Van has a vibrant blue and white finish, red interior, bright shaped spun wheels with suspension, and a dark graphite grey base.
RAC paper labels are bright, complete on both sides. The delicate transfers on the opening back doors are complete on one door, small edge loss to another (nearly always found with wear). ‘Road Service’ sign on the roof has an edge nick.
Looking at the paint finish, one will find a few small marks.
The colourful pictorial box is really crisp, bright and clean. Day-one bright colours. Looks like unsold shop stock. Hard to find this nice! Shopkeeper’s pencilled prices at an end flap.
