D434
Dinky 434 Bedford T.K. Crash Truck 'Auto Services'. Metallic red (including roof) and pale grey issue. Red plastic wheels. Scarce Very near mint/boxed (late issue picture box). From The Reference Collection.
Notes
Issued between 1966-70, this Bedford TK Truck has an all original metallic red cab (including the ribbed roof), and a pale grey back, red interior, red operating wheel, red plastic wheels. Silver metal hook. Delicate ‘Auto Services’ transfers are complete on both sides.
With none of the usual roof rubs, this Bedford Truck is in fine condition. Small area of paint bubbling on one side and a few tiny dots to the paint finish.
The late issue pictorial end flap box with a white background is clean and brightly-coloured. Often found heavily worn – this example has fared better than most. These later end flap boxes often suffer from extensive wear due to the comparatively flimsy nature of the card in relation to the weight of the truck enclosed inside. Tiny wear only.
A scarce issue.
