D289
Dinky 289 Routemaster Bus 289 "Tern Shirts". Near mint plus/boxed. Scarce find in the export box with 'Dealer Strip'.
Notes
A flame red unused example of this early issue Routemaster bus, with both a driver and a conductor, spun hubs and beautiful, detailed transfers!
Upon close inspection, there are a couple of tiny transfer marks. Occasional tiny dot to the paint finish. None of the usual rubbing to the roof body lines , although there is a little as-made bubbling (in one small area) and a few fine, light surface scratches (only really visible under intense light).
Colourful and bright card box comes complete with the tear-off end flap strip. Crisp. Light rubs.
