D503

Notes

Issued for a short period during 1954 before its renumbering to 903, this version in violet blue and deep yellow with light blue wheels is a scarce item and a rare find in this condition. All original and authentic throughout with a pleasing lustre to the paint finish. A few chips at wheel arches and a couple of minor marks at the cab roof and tailboard top edge. Released in limited numbers, this classic Dinky truck is a very difficult find, especially in close to mint condition.

Excellent original grey tyres including the spare still affixed to the bright baseplate.

The early deep blue card box with a paper label is clean and bright with the usual wear at edges. No graffiti or splits. Shopkeeper’s faintly pencilled price of 7/- at one end.

One could wait years to find another example!
