Notes

An impressive military Gift Set – especially in this unused complete condition! Made between 1957-65, this two part set is a worthy contender for the centre-piece of your Dinky military display. It comprises:

1) Dinky 660 Mighty Antar Tank Transporter is in splendid condition – obviously unused and rarely handled, this model has a fine sheen to the military green finish. Late example, so this truck has window glazing. Bright axles and metal fittings. There are a few near-inevitable marks (e.g. where metal meets metal at the ramps, a couple where the tank rests on the bed), but this is one of the nicest examples we have seen in a long while:

Such a difficult item to find absolutely mint!

2) Dinky 651 Centurion Tank is a fitting partner in close to mint condition. A couple of small marks at one raised body line and a little rub at turret top. Brightest baseplate, and smooth supple tracks. Just superb!

Of course, both items turn up regularly enough – but rarely in this unused condition and certainly this Gift Set is not an easy find.
The cream card insert with backdrop is intact and bright with no wear at the wheel slots:

A very pleasing backdrop for both military pieces
and adding to the desirability and value of this set.
The large striped Supertoys box is bright and clean with no graffiti.

Minor handling wear at corners (including a small tape repair) and there is some edge separation at one edge of the base, visible from the underside.
