Issued between 1959-61 with a type 3 Leyland grille, this classic Dinky bus presents well with a lustrous original vibrant red and cream paint finish, matching bright red, plasic wheels and original treaded tyres. ‘Dunlop – The World’s Master Tyre’ lettering is very close to perfect on both sides:
Occasional small mark to the paint finish.
The bright red and yellow plain box is complete and bright. Crisp feel. Light wear includes shelf grubbiness. Couple of very small flecks of surface loss. Correct colour spot for this version.
