Notes
A classic Dinky advertising van made between 1955-59. A vibrant red and yellow paint finish to this attractive Dinky van:
Shiny base and the black tyres are well-shaped (usually with grey tyres, perhaps swapped later for black Dinky tyres).
Rear doors open and close easily. The distinctive transfers are virtually complete – complete. A few little marks mostly at the rear doors as you might expect. Note that there is a factory paint run low down on one side in particular.
The original pictorial box is bright and complete. The Dinky stamp inside the box lid dates this example 1955 (the first year of production of this model). Light wear. Shiny staples. Light wear only.
