Notes
An exquisite French Dinky articulated truck has a deep, original navy blue paint finish and cream roof. Made between 1967-69. Beautifully detailed labels on both sides are complete on both sides(small area of edge wear on one side). They are rather transparent now (as is often the case). When detached, the chips where the trailer attaches to the chassis are evident (near unavoidable). Occasional chip may be found at some exposed edges besides. Little silver superdetailing at door handles and fuel tank). This is one of our favourite French Dinky models – a high quality item with pleasing attention to detail, and a great display piece!
The large colourful pictorial box has a wonderful full colour pictorial scene on the lid. Usual age wear and a large period label on the box base. Remains of ld sellotape whicj kept the lid closed.
Comes with a colour advertisement of this model taken from a newspaper from this period.
