D470
Dinky 470 Austin Van "SHELL". Near mint plus/boxed. From the 1200 model Italian collection.
Notes
This Dinky advertising van is in fine, all-original condition, with complete ‘SHELL’ and ‘BP’ transfers on both sides and at the rear. This model has a gleaming bright paint finish. None of the usual chipping at the bumpers. This example is happily free of the near-obligatory rub at the roof detail,too!
Slight rough casting and therefore a rather uneven paint finish in places.
The pictorial card box is complete, if rather crumpled now with handling wear at end flaps. No repairs and only a couple of verysmall corner tears at end flaps.
Shopkeeper’s price is pencilled.
