French Dinky 32C
French Dinky 32C Panhard 'ESSO' Tanker. Very near mint/boxed. From The Cumbrian Collection.
Notes
A very fine example indeed of this early French Dinky tanker issued between 1956-57. Very fresh and in unused condition with distinctive detailed small ‘ESSO’ labels on both sides and rear:
Just one small faint surface mark on one transfer. Bright silver ladders and spare wheel still in place on the shiny baseplate. Obviously, this truck has barely been out of its box with just a few small marks at exposed edges.
The deep yellow card pictorial box is complete, crisp, clean and bright, although it does have a small tear on the underside. Otherwise hard to fault. Indeed, these French Dinky boxes are often found in poor condition. This is one of the best we have seen in a while despite the tear!
