Notes
This Dinky Supertoy model in the harder to find end flap picture box was made towards the end of the production run (1965-69). Not an easy find in this style of box.
The model has a tilting cab, a simulated hydraulic tipping back, and opening tailgate. Sound and in great working order with a bright, fresh and complete “SAND BALLAST GRAVEL” label at the rear. 12 wheel chassis and jewelled headlights, blue plastic hubs, window glazing.


Correct that this later issue has the Leyland lettering in blue:

Rear label is bright and clean, although it has a little surface rub at one side:

A little of the unavoidable chipping when one lifts up the cab and a few small marks besides. Couple of dabs of creamy-white paint on the wheel arches. Unusually, this model was never fitted with a steering wheel.
Colourful and detailed picture end flap box has vivid colours and all end flaps intact.

Expected wear and light creasing due to the weight of the model compared to the flimsiness of this style of box.
Quite a difficult model to find, nowadays
