French Dinky 572
French Dinky 572 Berliet Quarry Truck. Very near mint/boxed. A very fine and scarce model. With Leaflet. From The West Midlands Collection.
Notes
This fine Berliet Quarry Truck has a gleaming bright, all original, vivid red cab and chassis, deep yellow plastic tipping back and yellow plastic wheel hubs, silver trim, complete with intact black stack.
Upon critical examination, you will see just two or three small marks. Pleasing sheen and crucially not a trace of sunfading either. Mechanism for raising the tipping back and locking into place works well too.
Fresh, clean and bright inner plinth – and notably no tears at the wheel slots. Leaflet.
The end flap pictorial box looks fresh with vivid colours on intact card. None of the expected rubbing at edges. Just a very small tear at the tuck-in part of the large end flaps and tiny wear besides. Period price label on an end flap.
No road sign with this example.
A scarce French Dinky commercial.
