Dinky Toys 290 Dunlop Bus
Double Deck Bus 'DUNLOP' by Dinky Toys, No. 290. Very near mint/boxed, with thin plastic packing piece. Scarce version with SPUN WHEELS! From The Reference Collection.
Notes
Issued during 1963 with a type 3 Leyland grille, this classic Dinky bus with spun wheels is a difficult version to find. This example presents well with a green and cream paint finish, treaded tyres. Virtually complete – complete lettering on both sides.
Very close to mint paint finish (few tiny touch-ins).
The correct lighter yellow pictorial box is crisp, clean and complete, looking like old shop stock. Correct colour spot for this version. With thin plastic packing piece.
