D903

Notes
A rare and exciting find indeed – especially in this condition!
Issued between 1957-60, this exceptional Dinky commercial truck has a light blue 2nd type cab, chassis and hubs, fawn back. Rivetted. Displays beautifully with a gleaming paint finish. Bright baseplate too. Stunning all original example – looks as if it is has just left the Binns Road Dinky factory in Liverpool.
Upon close inspection, you will see a small area of rough casting toward the back of the bed and a few mere dots (probably as-made) besides.
The correct striped Supertoys box with this colour version pictured is a fitting partner with barely any age wear at all. Minor faint stain at one end. Box base has the red early export label for Hudson Dobson exporters to the U.S.
Museum quality piece.
