D442
Dinky 442 Petrol Tanker 'ESSO'. Very near mint/boxed. Version with light blue lettering. From a prime specialist Dinky collection in the North of England.
Notes
This classic ‘ESSO’ commercial tanker is finished in vibrant red with a light blue outline and lettering at the sides. Transfers are complete on both sides save for one little dot to the blue border on one side. Notably, no box rubs to the silver roof details!
Minor casting mark and a light rub on the cab roof. Smooth original tyres run well. Note the careful super-detailing of silver on the bonnet detail and on the door handles.
The box looks extremely fresh and crisp, with strong colours. No tears or graffiti. Very minor edge crumple.
