FD32E
French Dinky 32E Berliet Fire Engine. Scarce. Near mint/boxed. With card packing piece too! From the Heart of England collection.
Notes
One of our favourite French Dinky trucks, this is one of the more difficult to find Dinky Fire Engines. It presents so well with a gleaming deep cherry red lustre that has not even a touch of sunfading. In all original condition, complete with with both detachable reels at the rear.
White (unused) original tyres. Some chipping confined to the points at which the reels attach and detach (as usual) and a few small marks besides. Otherwise difficult to fault.
The striped picture box looks delightfully fresh and bright with excellent strong colours on crisp clean card. A little rubbing to the box base underside, where you wil also find the lovely period shop price from L’Hotel de Ville, Paris. Comes complete with the little card packing piece!
Hard to let this one go!
