Notes

Not often seen in this virtually old shop stock condition!
This later numbering of the classic Dinky Motocart (1954-61) is a very fine unused example finished in the s*carce light green* and mid tan with red wheels and the familiar metal light tan workman figure behind the wheel.
Very close to mint condition with barely a mark.

The wonderfully vibrant deeply-coloured card picture box has a couple of very small grubby marks. Lightest wear. Nice to see the original card packing wedge still present (nearly always discarded).
For comparison only, please take a look at this picture which shows three versions from this collection with this scarce light green version on the right:
