Notes
This delightful, fresh Comet Wagon has an all original vivid deep green cab and chassis, deep orange back, and lighter green grooved wheels. Bright base. Working, intact hinged tailboard. Original grey, radial tyres (well-shaped). Spare stowed Bolt fixing. ‘418 ’ cast.
Correct for this box, this model has ’Dinky Toys’ and not ‘Supertoys’ cast into the chassis.
Close to mint, original finish. Little rough casting on the orange sides and note that one wheel is poorly cast, too.
In all original condition, with the occasional negligible mark.
The deeply-coloured Dinky Toys box is bright, clean and complete. Lightest wear and note the Dinky export label on the box base underside (red).
