Dinky Toys 290 Double Deck Bus 'DUNLOP'
Double Deck Bus 'DUNLOP' by Dinky Toys, No. 290. Near mint/boxed. Scarce Type 3 version in RED & CREAM with PLASTIC WHEELS! From The Reference Collection of fine Dinky Toys.
Notes
Issued during 1963 with a type 3 Leyland grille, this classic Dinky bus with plastic wheels is a very difficult version to find. This example presents well with a lustrous original vivid red and cream paint finish, treaded tyres. Sloping lettering on both sides (few little dots/tiny rub on a few of the letters).
Occasional very small mark to the paint finish.
The correct lighter yellow pictorial box is vividly-coloured, crisp and complete with all end flaps. Correct colour spot for this version. A little light wear including grubbiness.
