Notes

An all-original scarce issue precisely dated from March 1956 (Dinky stamp inside the box lid). This rare version has a vivid red cab and chassis, mid blue back, mid-blue ridged hubs. Large painted hook. Second type cab so this model has triangular lugs at either side of the front number plate. Obviously unused, one has to inspect extremely closely to find the couple of minor marks; a dot at a wheel arch, dot at a cab roof edge and a couple of near-microscopic pin pricks on the edges of the blue flatbed. Usual scuff at the tow hook. A lovely day-one bright lustre to the paint finish!
So rare to find in any condition! Axles, bolt fixing and baseplate are shiny. Bright silver radiator and lights. Complete with spare wheel.
Marked Dinky Toys on the base.

The yellow and blue lift-off lid box is a delight! Such vivid colours – and the deep blue base has none of the usual shelf rubbing to the underside. Bright staples too. Lid has vivid colours, no splits and only the slightest storage grubbiness. Correct red spot at the lid end, and a shopkeeper’s pencilled price.

A fine example of a sought-after Dinky commercial truck. First class investment piece and a delight to own.
