Dinky Toys 948 McLean Truck
Tractor-Trailer 'McLean' Truck by Dinky Toys, No. 948. Red & Fawn version, with red wheels. Very near mint/boxed (version with blue box base), with both original card packing pieces. From The Hastings Collection.
Notes
Issued between 1961-67, this fine Dinky commercial ‘McLean’ Truck presents well with a bright red cab, red plastic hubs and a fawn back.
Complete, delicate transfers on both cab sides and sides of the fawn back. Virtually complete – complete rear transfers (tiny edge wear to one).
The rear opening doors on these models are prone to damage. Both doors open and close well.
Some of the expected marking to the paint at the point where the trailer attaches to the base of the tractor unit. Under magnification and strong light, one tiny retouch may be found to a wheel arch.
The striped Dinky Supertoys box (with large italicised/sloping print) is bright, fresh and complete with no splits. Light wear. Not often found with these two deep blue card packing pieces.
