Notes
An endearing reminder of a bygone age, this Ford Light Van in deep blue with very nearly complete attractive ‘MINIC TRANSPORT’ transfers on both sides. This very scarce pre-war version measures just 8.5 cms. and has the petrol can on one side.
Shiny radiator and shiny wheels (although the latter, in particular, has some tarnishing as one might expect). The tyres too have the occasional partial split. Complete front bumpers front.
Working clockwork motor.
Few marks to the finish.
Nice to see that the illustrated white card box is present . One internal flap is missing. Print is clear and strong. Small carefully repaired tear and a tiny tear besides. Minor wear.
