Notes
Just 650 of the Mason Paint promotional vans were issued between 1969-70. The Mini Van has a vibrant all original deep maroon finish with intact Joseph Mason Paints labels on both sides and a complete ‘Paints’ label on the roof sign.
Very close to mint condition. A couple of small marks at roof edge and a few mere dots on a window post.
Lovely original lustre, obviously a cherished item that has rarely seen the light of day.
The maroon card box is complete, clean and vividly-coloured with no grubbiness or graffiti.
One of the freshest examples we have seen – so often the edges are found rubbed – this example has barely any! Crisp and deeply-coloured, intact card.
The promotional booklet is included along with the original light blue packing ring which fits over the roof sign.
A rare Dinky promotional model which makes an excellent investment item.
