Dinky 961
Dinky 961 Swiss Postal Bus. Bright blue interior. Very near mint/boxed. Scarce. One of two versions from The Reference Collection.
Notes
Not an easy variation to find, this ‘Swiss Postal’ version of the Vega Major Coach has a vivid all original deep yellow and cream finish with complete paper labels at both sides. Vivid, mid-blue seating and orange indicator lights.
As fine an example as you will reasonably find, with a couple of tiny wheel arch dots and a very small rub to one of the raised points on the roof.
The comparatively flimsy card box is in excellent, fresh condition with no tears and no loss of colour vibrancy. Card is clean and bright and crisp, so presents well with no graffiti. Minor storage edge scuff.
Very nice!
