Such a bright and fresh Dinky Guy Van! Issued between 1954-56 and scarce in such fine condition, this example has perfect eye-catching transfers on both sides with the letters forming the shape of a dog.
A wonderful display piece, made during Dinky’s heyday:
Beautiful lustre to the original paint finish.
The occasioanl negligible mark to the paint.
Few minor part-thickness touch-ins to the red paint.
The deep blue box with picture label is very fresh and bright with no splits or repairs.Very light wear only.
