D405
Dinky 405 Universal Jeep. Red issue, early red wheels. Very near mint/boxed. From the Italian collection.
Notes
Re-numbered from 25Y in 1954, this early issue has a vivid red original finish and matching metal wheels, bright tinplate screen in black and metal steering wheel, spare wheel.
Brilliant red original finish with not even a trace of sun-fading. Few little marks at an exposed edge on one side and a little dulled area on the baseplate.
The card box is complete if rather grubby now. Correct colour spot at the end flaps. Shopkeeper’s penned price. Minor wear.
