D289
Dinky 289 Routemaster Bus "ESSO". Cast wheels, bright blue interior. Very near mint/boxed (bubble packed). From The Netherlands Collection.
Notes
Looking unused, this Routemaster Bus has a vivid red, original finish, bright mid-blue interior, clean and complete ‘ESSO’ paper labels on both sides, clean and bright paper labels front and rear,
Cast wheels, conductor and driver. Unscathed ribbed roof.
Couple of negligible marks if you really want to fault the paint finish and a little edge crease to the paper label at the front. The card and bubble top box is complete and bright with a notably intact bubble top lid which is clear and supple too.
