Dinky 591 AEC Tanker. Scarce "Shell Chemicals Limited" issue. Near mint plus/boxed, with period Harrods label. From The Reigate Collection.
Notes
Issued made between 1952-54 only, before it was re-numbered. This eye-catching commercial truck has a bright red and yellow finish. Not an easy find in this condition with perfect “SHELL CHEMICALS LIMITED” lettering on both sides. Complete “SHELL” label at the rear. 20mph sticker in place.
A few minor marks to the paint finish and closest scrutiny finds a couple of very small touch-ins. Original light grey tyres. Couple of light flat spots.
The deep blue box is brightly coloured, with a complete paper label. Light wear. Period touch – note the original Harrods price label on the box base underside.
