French Dinky 823
French Dinky 823 Military G.M.C. Truck. Very near mint/boxed. Scarce model from The SC Collection.
Notes
A sought-after item indeed from the French Dinky factory issued between 1969-70 only. This particular example is in virtually mint condition. There are no marks to the paint finish and the transfers and paper label “Liquides Inflammables” are complete. The filler caps on the top of the tank are always susceptible to damage – rarely are they found perfectly intact- this example has perfectly intact filler caps.
Obviously unused, this example comes complete with the spare wheel behind the cab too. Shiny axles and as-new original tyres.
Little nick to one of the delicate transfers.
With card plinth (small wheel slot tear) and correct road sign.
The outer box is complete and bright. Couple of small handling tears to the tuck-in part of the large end flaps.
A scarce model which is becoming increasingly difficult to find.
