Dinky 985
Dinky 985 Trailer For Car Carrier. Very near mint/boxed. With both upper and lower card packing pieces. Dated 1958. From a large private European lifetime collection.
Notes
With an original gleaming red and grey finish, this model is a must for your collection. Issued between 1958-63, this is one of the earliest examples, dated 1958 from the Dinky stamp inside the box lid. Perfect lettering on both sides. Not even a hint of sunfading on this example. Looks unused.
One little tailgate edge chip and the occasional negligible mark on this large trailer (approx. 23cms or 9 inches including the metal tow bar). Attach this to the Car Transporter – and you can see why this is the largest Dinky set made! Both pieces together can accommodate eight Dinky vehicles (four on the trailer on its own). What a display that would make!
The striped Supertoys box is very clean, bright and complete. Small edge split to one corner of the lid.
Complete with both upper and lower card packing pieces which have sustained the near-inevitable couple of tears, due to the weight of this model.
