D442
Dinky 442 Petrol Tanker 'ESSO'. Near mint plus/boxed. Version with light blue lettering. From The BST Collection.
Notes
This classic ‘ESSO’ commercial tanker is finished in vibrant red with a light blue outline and lettering at the sides. Transfers are complete on one side, very small edge nick to the other.
Paint finish gleams!
One of the raised roof details has a little light box rub and there is a flake of paint at one cab side.
Hard to fault otherwise. Well-shaped smooth original tyres and an untarnished base.
The box is complete and deeply-coloured, if rather grubby now. Minor age/handling wear.
