Notes
This classic Dinky truck was issued for some sixteen years in total (1964-72), this being an early issue with a bright metallic emerald green cab, grey back and red plastic hubs. Red interior. Model is in unused condition with both REFUSE WAGON labels at the sides, as well as the chevron label at the rear (very minor wear). Complete crest transfers on both sides of the vivid green cab. All delicate rear opening shutters are intact and function well, too.
Both plastic bins are present, with lids.
In very close to mint condition.
The end flap pictorial box is a great find in this condition.
Attractive backdrop for the truck when on display. Clean, bright, fresh and crisp. Period price label.
