D400
Dinky 400 B.E.V. Electric Truck. Near mint/boxed. From a large private European collection.
Notes
Made between 1954-60, this classic Dinky model was first issued as 14a back in 1948. Nothing really changed except its number – with its simple lines and familiar pale brown Dinky figure, it is equally at home in a railway or Dinky model ‘scene’.
Upon close inspection, one may see a few little dabs of retouching and a small sweep of new paint below the tow hook. Model is stamped 14A on the baseplate, so an early re-numbering.
The pictorial card box has vivid colours, with a crisp feel to the card. Complete. Few small areas of surface removal (edges mostly) and minor handling wear besides.
