Notes
An all-original scarce issue made during 1954-55. This truck has a vivid red cab and chassis, mid blue back, mid-blue ridged hubs. Large painted hook. Second type cab so this model has triangular lugs at either side of the front number plate.
Axles, bolt fixing and baseplate are shiny. Bright silver radiator and lights. Paint finish is vibrant and glowing. Complete with spare wheel.
Marked Dinky Toys on the base.
Occasional small mark and note that one of the original tyres has a flat spot (ideal time to swap for the spare).
The blue and white striped picture box is complete and bright with seam splits. Small (easily overlooked) puncture to the lid. Minor wear besides includes a few little edge scuffs and a corner crumple.
