French Dinky 898
French Dinky 898 Berliet Tractor with Transformer on an Articulated Trailer. Excellent plus-near mint/boxed, with packing. From The Cumbrian Collection.
Notes
Always an impressive and desirable French Dinky Berliet model made between 1961-65. This model has a bright orange finish, yellow metal concave wheels, two spare tyres stowed behind the cab, window glazing.
With an excellent plus – near mint original paint finish throughout (some unavoidable marks where the two components are attached and a little rubbing where the transformer would sit on the bed)
The transformer (FD833) is assembled, and notably complete with all of the small plug-in parts.
Inner card packing is still present and looks fresh. Little slot edge ruffles.
The large striped Dinky Supertoys box is bright, complete and fresh. Minor age wear only. No punctures.
Dinky stamp‘Meccano Controle’ on the inside of the lid.
