Notes
We are agents for a large lifetime Dinky collection. Some items were purchased directly from toy shops during the 1960s. He would travel to toyshops in the search for any old or out-of date stock, since scarcely anyone collected in those early days. Many were bought or swapped at early swapmeet/toyfairs. Quite a few of the unboxed models were taken straight from trade boxes. An interesting and varied collection that has been amassed over some 30 or so years.
This model is a late issue ( 1962-64) with a matt white finish, red plastic wheels and window glazing. In close to mint condition:


At first glance, this model looks virtually mint, save for the chip at a wheel arch. However, upon close observation, there are some touch-ins to the paint finish e.g. at a few exposed edges. Bright baseplate. Scratch to the glazing on one side window.
The correct plaer yellow pictorial box is crisp, clean and complete with all end flaps (although one flap has a sellotape repair and there are a few little tears besides at this site).

Minor age wear besides.
