Notes

Issued between 1954-59 with a type 3 Leyland grille, this classic Dinky bus presents so well with a lustrous deep green and cream paint finish, lighter green wheels and smooth black, well-shaped tyres. Virtually complete – complete lettering on both sides – earlier issue so DUNLOP lettering is in upright print. Note the addition of the roof box on this slightly later issue.

Barely a mark to the paint finish – faint surface mark on one side (may be possible to clean away although extra care would be needed due to the lettering). Faint flat spot to a couple of tyres.
The attractive pictorial box is brightly-coloured, with the correct colour spot. Very close to old shop stock quality.
