Notes
Fine condition, classic Dinky truck made between 1965-70. The vivid red and palest grey finish is all original throughout. Early issue with cast radiator, black jockey wheels. Bright jewelled headlights, intact ‘British Road Services’ lettering above the cab. One little mark at a wheel arch and a few dots to the raised details on the grey sides.
The trailer has complete ‘British Road Services’ lettering on both sides. Bright clean plastic detachable tilt.
Couple of tiny marks to the paint finish.
With Instruction Leaflet:
The full-colour pictorial box is complete and bright. Scarcely any of the typical wear that one often finds with boxes of this era (card is so much flimsier than the model it contains). Couple of little end flap handing tears. A little wear besides.
