Notes
Issued between 1961-67, this Dinky commercial truck has a vivid red (unfaded) cab and a grey back. This is a difficult version to find with black plastic wheels and a black matte base. The first we have ever offered for sale.
The rear opening doors are complete. Detailed McLean transfers on both cab sides are complete. Delicate McLean transfers on the trailer – some loss on both sides. McLean label at the front of the trailer is complete.
Couple of edge nibbles to the rear door labels. Couple of small marks to the paint finish.
Usual marking to the coupling area of the chassis (not visible until the cab is detached).
The Supertoys box is clean, bright and complete. This example has the harder to find yellow base. Two lid seams have a glue repair. Light age/handling wear besides.
