FD572
French Dinky 572 Berliet Quarry Truck. Very near mint/boxed. With road sign in sealed packet. Rare model! From a most knowledgeable and enthusiastic collector in South London.
Notes
This scarce Berliet Quarry Truck is in unused condition, with an all original, vivid red cab and chassis, deep yellow plastic tipping back and yellow plastic wheel hubs, silver trim, complete with intact black stack.
Shiny metal parts and supple. as-new original tyres.
Occasional little mark at some exposed edges. No chips head-on or on the cab roof.
What a beauty – and not a trace of sunfading either. Mechanism for raising the tipping back and locking into place works well too.
Fresh, clean and bright inner plinth in which the truck rests has a just a couple of very small tears at one of the wheel slots.
Comes complete with the correct road sign too in its sealed packet too.
The end flap pictorial box is bright and crisp with none of the expected rubbing at edges. Small start of a tear at the tuck-in part of the large end flaps. Very minor age wear/grubbiness besides. No graffiti. Little label at a non-picture side.
A very fine example of a scarce French Dinky commercial.
