Notes
Originally purchased by the owner from a collector who enjoyed touring toy shops in the mid 60’s & early ’70’s buying models that appealed to him. If he could find a bargain then he would buy multiple examples of the same item. His collection comprises Dinky, Corgi and several Spot-On models.
Issued between 1962-69, as part of the Dinky range of TV commercial vehicles. This model is in very fine, all original condition, complete with the often missing revolving aerial dish. Note this is the version with a triangular slot for the aerial. Complete transfers on both sides and notably complete lettering head-on (often found with much rubbing to the letters). Lustrous original finish including the silver trim.
In virtually mint condition!
Shiny base and fine well-shaped tyres.
The picture box is brightly-coloured and intact. Light shelf grubbiness on the underside, a little edge scuff and a small stain.
Period price label at one lid end.
