Notes
The first we have handled in a long time, this is an extremely fine-looking classic Dinky commercial – same casting as the English version under the 962 numbering – although this French version has a distinctly different yellow-cream finish.
Deep red metal wheels. Fine original tyres.
Comes complete with the familiar driver in his pale brown workman’s garb.
Barely a mark to the paint ( hard to find this good). Couple of little contact marks where the dumper rests on the body of the vehicle and a tiny scuff tot he driver’s head. Notably in original condition. A nicely-constructed toy; the driver can be made to swivel with his seat, and the dumper tips. Tow hook. Bright baseplate. These dumper trucks are so often found with many chips!
The striped Supertoys box is very clean, fresh and brightly-coloured. Minor shelf-wear to the underside.
