Notes
Issued circa 1962 with a type 3 Leyland grille, this classic Dinky bus has green plastic wheels – not an easy version to find. This Bus model presents well with a lustrous deeper green and cream paint finish, green plastic wheels, treaded tyres. Sloping lettering is virtually complete on both sides.
Hard to find a mark to the paint finish but closest inspection finds a few retouches (wheel arches for instance).
Correct late issue lighter yellow pictorial box. Crisp and vividly-coloured. Looks like old shop stock with correct colour spot. Lightest wear.
