Notes

Issued between 1957-58, this is one of the most desirable Dinky commercial advertising vans. Such a vibrant, all original paint finish and the distinctive transfers are virtually perfect on both sides! Not a trace of sunfading on this example which has been carefully handled and stored. Very bright and shiny baseplate and axles. What a treat!

The U.S. export box is bright and complete. No splits. ‘LF’ (lead free) label is still in place at one end. Light wear/grubbiness. 250 is written in small print on the box face in pencil. Complete Hudson Dobson (U.S. export) label, although it is starting to lift from the box in one place.
