Notes
Issued between 1959-61 with a type 3 Leyland grille, this classic Dinky bus presents so well with a lustrous original red and cream paint finish, red cast wheels and well-shaped, treaded tyres. Complete lettering on both sides – (DUNLOP lettering is in upright print). Note the addition of the roof box on this slightly later issue.
The bright and fresh picture box looks very close to old shop stock quality. Correct colour spot. Pencilled period price on an end flap.
