D660
Dinky 660 Tank Transporter. Very near mint/boxed. Early issue (from 1957) with no window glazing. All 3 packing pieces! From a collector in Surrey.
Notes
This Thornycroft Mighty Antar Tractor and Transporter has a very fine, military green, all original paint finish, driver figure and no windows.
Couple of marks on the bed, probably where a tank has been rested at some time. Unavoidable little marks at the drop-down ramps (where metal meets metal). Little factory paint miss at one edge of the bed. No chipping at wheel arches or cab, including the roof, radiator and bumper section. No chipping either on the blocks behind the cab (often this area is prone to chipping during handling, due to the swivelling of the transporter bed). This model has been carefully handled and stored, so free of marking in these vulnerable places.
A lovely example and difficult to find this good.
The striped Supertoys box impresses with its fresh clean colours on undamaged, barely handled card, complete with all 3 packing pieces.
Dated 1957 (Dinky stamp on the interior surface of the lid). A little rusting at staples as you might expect on a box of this age. No splits, tears or repairs. Very minor wear only.
LF label (lead-free paint) at lid end.
A super military piece.
