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 He would travel to toyshops in the search for any old or out-of date stock, since scarcely anyone collected in those early days.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 1958-60, this is a highly displayable and attractive example with a light tan cab and chassis, dark green back, paler green hubs. So fresh and bright with day-one original colours throughout.

Museum quality – this model has just two tiny pinprick marks (probably as-made) and a little scratch on the baseplate. Tyres look as-new! A delightful find in this condition.
The paler yellow pictorial box is complete with all end flaps intact.

It is rather worn now with some rubbing at edges and remains of sellotape at the ends.
The best example of this desirable Dinky truck that we have seen in a long while.
