Notes
Issued between 1961-62, this model has a bright red paint finish with red diecast hubs, a Leyland grille and perfect ‘Exide Batteries’ labels on one side, small corner nick to the other. Black knobbly wheels. Correct that this issue has no destination number at front or rear. Scarce issue with ony a few little marks at some wheel arches and base edge. Roof is largely unmarked.
Notably, this bus has lost none of its colour vibrancy and the transfers are bright and fresh too, so this sought-after model displays well.
The more unusual yellow non-picture card box is complete, bright and clean. A little handling wear around one end flap and a few little light creases besides.
Notably, this item comes complete with a very scarce pink promotional leaflet supplied by Chloride Batteries Limited. What a find!
Definitely a must for your Dinky bus collection!
