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!
There is a chip head-on and a couple of little marks at some exposed edges (e.g. at rear doors, one wheel arch has a couple of marks).
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.
Dinky stamp dates this example from 1957.
