Notes

This sought-after classic Dinky tanker was issued between 1958-64, this being an early issue with diecast wheels. Vibrant, original red finish throughout. Tanker is tinplate with original transfers on both sides and at rear. Little speckled marking at the side transfers as well as a couple of small light scratches. Couple of tiny tope edge nibbles to the rear transfer.
Complete with an intact ladder and manhole covers. None of the usual problems often found with these models i.e. rust, crazing, discolouration to the white transfer, flaking paint to the ladder – no dents in the tanker or indeed any rust spots.

An honest example, you will find the occasional little mark at some wheel arches and at the occasional exposed edge.
Shiny base and well-shaped original tyres.
The striped ‘Supertoys’ box is complete and brightly-coloured. Faintly pencilled price at a lid end. Deep blue box base is free of sunfading. Minor wear only, including a few little scuffs to the interior surface of the lid.
