Notes
This is the first issue (36B) issued during 1959 and marking the transition to its later numbering 896 (note that both numberings are marked on the box lid ends).
This fine French Dinky model has a deep red prime mover with an orange-yellow detachable trailer with original red highlighting and matching orange-yellow painted concave wheels. Green plastic canopy and opening side and rear doors ( a few inevitable little marks at the side doors).
None of the expected marking to the cab and indeed no chips at the opening rear doors either!The box has a card packing piece inside which keeps the model in place:
A couple of little tears only, due to the weight of the model.
The attrative large striped Supertoys box is bright and clean with no graffiti.
A little rubbing at edges and a split to one corner ( not obvious).
Not an easy find!
