Dinky 283 B.O.A.C. Coach. Near mint plus/boxed. From 'The 25 Year Collection'.
Notes
First issued during 1956, this coach has a deepest blue paint finish with a white roof. The lettering at the sides is notably complete (nearly always found quite rubbed!). Complete BOAC lettering in yellow along with the distinctive gold Speedbird emblem on both sides, too.
A little ‘spidering’ on the base. Well-shaped tyres.None of the usual discolouration on the roof, either. Little rub to one of the raised roof details. Minor tarnishing to one of the axle ends. Few tiny marks to the paint finish. Little rubbing at the rear silver bumper.
The brightly-coloured picture box is complete and vivid with no tears. Little penned price and a little end flap Minor age wear besides.
