Notes
Issued circa 1962 with a type 3 Leyland grille, this classic Dinky bus has plastic wheels – not an easy version to find. This Bus model presents well with a lustrous original lighter green and cream paint finish, green plastic wheels, treaded tyres. Sloping lettering on both sides.
Very close to mint.
Compare this model to the standard deeper green and cream version pictured here (for comparison only).
These models come in the correct late issue lighter yellow pictorial box. Crisp and vividly-coloured. Looks like old shop stock (minor handling creasing to one edge of an end flap).
With perspex packing strip.
