D405
Dinky 405 Universal Jeep. Red issue, early red wheels. Very, very near mint/boxed.
Notes
Re-numbered from 25Y in 1954, this stunning early issue has such a vivid red original finish and matching metal wheels, bright tinplate screen in matt black and metal steering wheel, spare wheel.
A beauty!
Shiny metal parts and as-new original smooth tyres.
Note the little stray factory flick of silver at the rear and a tiny mark (again, probably factory), at the top edge of the passenger seat.
Brilliant red original finish with not even a trace of sun-fading.
The card box is ever so crisp, bright and fresh. A little storage crease. on the top surface. Correct colour spot at the end flaps. Pencilled number at an end flap.
