Notes
A very difficult model to find in any condition. This model is cast in aluminium and has the wording “EXPRESS HORSE VAN” “HIRE SERVICE” on both sides and “EXPRESS” above the cab windows. All complete! The maroon paint finish has a fine lustrous finish, showing that this model has been carefully stored and rarely handled.
None of the usual rubbing or chipping at the raised roof detail. In exceptional condition with a very few small marks to the paint finish, visible on closest scrutiny.
The correctly labelled “HORSE VAN” box has the address of the “Hudson Dobson” importer at one side. The box is in superb condition too – bright and clean with no splits.
Shining staples too! Dinky stamp dates this example June 1956 on the inside of the box lid. Nice to see that this example is complete with the usually discarded packing card pieces:
Straight out of the top drawer – this is one of the nicest examples you will find.
