D252
Dinky 252 Refuse Wagon. Orange & grey - scarce transition issue with green TINPLATE SHUTTERS & SILVER RADIATOR & HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. Green cast wheels. A first for QDT! Very near mint/boxed. From The 25 Year Collection.
Notes
This rare transition issue is finished in a vibrant and all original orange and pale grey with green tinplate shutters, silver radiator and headlight assembly, green cast wheels, glossy black baseplate (few little scratches), window glazing.
In close to perfect condition and looking like old shop stock, with barely a mark. Bright shiny winding handle works well.
Usually, this model is found with green plastic shutters, silver radiator and headlight assembly and red plastic wheels (still a difficult find!).
The later (paler) yellow card picture box is crisp, complete and vividly-coloured. Couple of very small tears.
An exceptional item – and the first we have ever offered for sale!
