Dinky 980 Express Horse Van
Express Horse Van by Dinky Toys, No. 980. Very near mint/unboxed. Scarce U.S. issue. From The Reference Collection.
Notes
A very difficult model to find in any condition – especially difficult too, to find such a fine example unboxed! This model was originally made for the U.S. market. It is cast in aluminium and has the wording “EXPRESS HORSE VAN” “HIRE SERVICE” on both sides and “EXPRESS” above the cab windows. All lettering is complete. Fine sheen to the vibrant maroon paint finish – in very near mint condition. Version with red cast wheels.
