Notes
An essential item in your Dinky commercial collection, this Guy van was made during Dinky’s heyday and is part of the sought-after range of advertising vans made during the mid-late 1950’s.
In all original condition throughout, this ‘Ever Ready’ model has a shining mid-blue paint finish and virtually perfect detailed transfers on both sides.
Upon careful scrutiny of the van, there are the usual little chips at wheel arches/body line and the occasional minute scratch/mark besides. Shiny baseplate and metal parts. Rear doors open and close well.
The box is complete and bright with no splits.
A litle rubbing at corners and there is a crease to the box base. Faint crayon marking to one side of the lid. Some notable shelf rubbing to the underside of the box base. Dinky stamp inside the box lid dates this particular example from 1955.
A cherished item from Dinky’s heyday!
