Notes
First issue in vivid green and yellow finish, red diecast hubs, green band above the radiator. This sought-after Dinky commercial truck, is close to mint. Just a very few little marks at some of the wheel arches, and a dot or two besides. 20mph transfer is still in place, too. What a beauty!
Hard to fault, although under minute scrutiny a couple of little extra dabs of well-matched yellow paint may be seen at a wheel arch.
The striped Supertoys box is bright and complete, although there is a small area of minor paper separation at one corner edge of the lid. A little minor age wear besides. Vivid colours with no sunfading. Dated 1956 from the Dinky stamp inside the lid.
