Dinky Toys 290 Double Deck Bus 'DUNLOP'
Double Deck Bus 'DUNLOP' by Dinky Toys, No. 290. Very, very near mint/boxed. From The Heart of England Collection.
Notes
Issued between 1959-61 with a type 3 Leyland grille, this classic Dinky bus presents well with a lustrous original vibrant red and cream paint finish, matching bright red, cast wheels and original smooth tyres (little flat spot to one). ‘Dunlop – The World’s Master Tyre’ lettering is virtually perfect-perfect on both sides:
Occasional negligible dot to the paint finish.
The bright yellow picture box is  crisp and fresh-looking with strong colours.  Correct colour spot for this version.
