Notes
This later Dinky heavyweight, made between 1971-80, was issued in various colour finishes. This version has a deep orange, yellow and black finish with silver rollers.
A few little marks on the silver roller edges and a couple on the ornage bonnet ribs, and a chip at an exposed edge.
Complete ‘Master Paviour’ labels on both sides as well as the decorative logo onthe front.
Lots of features on this late issue Dinky:
Tilting and rotating front roller, cab has windows which slide open, grey plastic engine covers may be lifted for inspection – this model even makes a ticking noise when pushed along!
Sturdy card pictorial box is bright and complete. Minor age wear and a small area of surface removal due to a price label at one end flap. Nice to see the usually discarded wrap-around packing piece is still present and intact!
