D481
Dinky 481 Bedford 10cwt Van 'Ovaltine'. Very near mint/boxed. From The MCM Collection.
Notes
Issued between 1955-60 only, this classic Dinky model was one of a series of delightful advertising vans made during this period.
Bright, original, lustrous mid-blue paint finish and lettering is complete on both sides (although ‘&’ on one side has been imperfectly applied). Original mid-blue paint finish is very close to perfect with barely a mark. Tiny front bumper rubbing.
The box is complete and strongly-coloured. Crisp, with plenty of end flap spring. Grubbiness/‘foxing’ on box underside. Period price label at an end flap.
