D522

Notes

Issued between 1952-54, this model is finished in maroon and tan with cream hubs and original grey treaded tyres, spare tyre stowed on the underside. A rather uneven paint finish to the maroon paint and a couple of very subtle retouches to the tan paint at a top side edge. Couple of little rubs at some of the raised details and a casting mark at cab roof edge.

The deep blue box with a paper label has excellent strong colours.

Paper label is generally bright and clean although there is a small stain at an edge. Little corner nick. Some of the usual rubbing to the box base (shelf wear). Lightly pencilled shopkeeper’s price. No splits to this box and it looks great alongside the model.
