Dinky 591
Dinky 591 AEC Tanker. Scarce "Shell Chemicals Limited" issue. Very near mint/boxed.
Notes
Issued made between 1952-54 only, before it was re-numbered. This eye-catching commercial truck has a bright red and yellow finish. Not an easy find in this condition with perfect “SHELL CHEMICALS LIMITED” lettering on both sides (unless you count near-microscopic marks). Presents nicely with a perfect “SHELL” label at the rear. 20mph sticker is complete too.
Pleasing lustrous finish – and all original!
Small area of paint loss on the front numberplate area. Tiny mark or two besides. Original light grey tyres have a little age wear.
The deep blue box has a complete paper label. Colours have lost none of their vibrancy. Lightest wear only.
Such an eye-catching example!
