Notes
Certainly one of the most sought-after Dinky commercial models and notoriously difficult to find in any condition.
This scarce Dinky Guy Van was made for just one year – 1952. In brightest, deep yellow finish with a first type cab and ridged cast wheels. Earliest issue (later with Supertoy wheels).
A classic item from Dinky’s heyday. The all-important distinctive transfers are complete at the sides. Complete ‘WEETABIX’ lettering above the cab, too.
Rear doors open and close well. Shiny metal parts for the most part. Smooth original tyres. Spare stowed on the underside.
Truly exceptional condition – we have never seen better.
Painstaking scrutiny under magnification finds a couple of tiny extra dabs of perfectly-matched yellow paint (assume factory).
The intact powder blue box with paper label is one of the best you will ever see. Day-one bright colours on well-stored card.
Typically, one of the the final items to be added to a Dinky commercial collection. Always guaranteed to be a key item in any Dinky collection – its fame always going before it!
