D253
Dinky 253 Daimler Ambulance. Near mint plus/boxed. Scarce matte white issue with red metal wheels. From The Reference Collection.
Notes
Issued between 1960-62, this version has a fresh original matte white finish with red metal wheels and window glazing. In close to mint condition.
Occasional little mark to this most unforgiving of paint finishes. Shiny base and fine original (treaded) tyres.
The correct later pale yellow box is bright and complete with all end flaps. Period penned pricing at both end flaps (with amended prices!).
Not an easy issue to find.
