Dinky 514

Price: £895.00
This item is sold.
Notes
Certainly one of the most sought-after Dinky commercial models and notoriously difficult to find in any condition.
This scarce Dinky Guy Van was made for just one year – 1952. In brightest, deep yellow finish with a first type cab and early issue ridged wheels. A classic item from Dinky’s heyday. The all-important distinctive transfers are in virtually complete – complete at the sides. Complete ‘WEETABIX’ lettering above the cab.
Rear doors open and close well. Shiny metal parts. Smooth original tyres, including the spare. A few small flat spots.
Few minor marks. Closest inspection reveals a few little retouches (mostly at wheel arches).
The powder blue box with paper label is complete and tear-free, if rather grubby now. Age/storage wear includes shelf wear to the underside. Shopkeeper’s price on a short lid end.
Typically, one of the the final items to be added to a Dinky commercial collection, this one comes with a comparatively reasonable price tag! Always guaranteed to be a key item in any Dinky collection – its fame always going before it!
