D400
Dinky 400 B.E.V. Electric Truck. Very near mint/boxed. From The HNC Collection.
Notes
Made between 1954-60, this classic Dinky model was first issued as 14a back in 1948. Nothing really changed except its number – with its simple lines and familiar pale brown Dinky figure, it is equally at home in a railway or Dinky model ‘scene’.
Model is stamped 14A on the baseplate, so an early re-numbering.
Barely a mark to the paint finish.
The pictorial card box is complete and strongly-coloured, if rather grubby now. Period pencilled price. Small end flap tear.
