Notes

One of the rarest Dinky Advertising vans A sought-after model, this is the Guy Warrior version of the Heinz Advertising Van. Seldom comes to the market place at all, let alone in this close to mint condition! Made during 1960 only.
Eye-catching delicate transfers on both sides are original and very close to perfect. Chip to letter ‘H’ of Heinz on one side, couple of small nicks besides. Wonderful lustre to the paint finish with not a trace of sunfading.

The correct plain blue striped lift-off lid box is complete and intact. Light grubbiness and a little wear. Untarnished staples.Some grubbiness and light wear.
An exciting and rare find.
