Notes

Issued between 1954-56 this is one of the most memorable advertising vans from Dinky’s heyday. This is the more unusual dual-numbered transitional issue when the model changed from 514 to 917. Complete eye-catching transfers on both sides with the letters forming the shape of a dog. Supertoy wheels.
An eye-catching display piece with strong colours throughout (i.e. no sunfading).
Smooth original black tyres are well-shaped save for one which has a light flat spot (spare stowed on the underside).
