This Breakdown Lorry has a tan cab, notably light green back too, red hubs, black lettering, well-shaped treaded black tyres. In close to mint condition, complete with a working tow hook. Perfect narrow ‘DINKY SERVICE’ lettering in black on both sides, bright winding handle cuff and baseplate (light tarnishing).

Hard to find a mark but close inspection finds a few touch-ins.
