Notes
This is one of the popular range of smaller commercial advertising vans made by Dinky during the late 1950’s. This particular model was made during 1954-57.


Upon close inspection, one may see a light scuff at a wheel arch and a little light marking besides on this model. The transfers are excellent on one side (some marking to the jelly and tiny marks to some of the letters) and near mint on the other (a couple of tiny dots).
The box is really very nice indeed with excellent strong colours, crisp and clean with all end flaps intact. Note that this box bears the early numbering at the ends as well, so this is a transition box marking the changeover from the earlier 31c numbering. This example was made during 1954 therefore.
