Notes
A desirable item from the French Dinky factory, this Breakdown Truck ‘AUTOROUTES’ has a vivid, unfaded orange finish and complete ‘DEPANNAGE AUTOROUTES’ on both sides. Second issue (1970-71). Complete with all delicate parts (including the little red roof light) intact. Functioning winch mechanism.
Nice silver ‘Berliet’ detail head-on as well as headlights (all original).
A few minor marks.
No accessories although comes with the roof aerial.
The illustrated card box is bright and has a crisp feel. So often found in very poor condition due to the flimsy nature of the card in comparison to the weight of the truck. This example has light wear (no serrated tag).
