Notes

We are agents for a large lifetime Dinky collection some items were purchased directly from toy shops during the 1960s. He would travel to toyshops in the search for any old or out-of date stock, since scarcely anyone collected in those early days. Many were bought or swapped at early swapmeet/toyfairs. Quite a few of the unboxed models were taken straight from trade boxes. An interesting and varied collection that has been amassed over some 30 or so years.

Issued between 1954-60 in four different colour finishes, this pale lemon version is not an easy find!
A striking and eye-catching truck on display:

There is a subtle amount of sun fading to the cab head-on; albeit minor. There are a few little chips at exposed edges towards the base of the model. None of the expected chipping at cab head-on, roof or back edges. Complete and intact original radiator and headlight assembly with original detailing, contrasts nicely with the pale lemon finish. Bright baseplate – and the tyres look as-new! Obviously a cherished piece that has been on display.
The pictorial box is complete with all end flaps and no tears.

Dark blue colour spot at the end flaps. Some rubbing at box edges and at box top.
