Notes
A most attractive French Dinky bus, in vibrant red and cream finish, complete with bright, detailed paper labels on both sides ‘DUNLOP’ and ‘PEPSI COLA’, jewelled headlights.
Closest scrutiny reveals one little touch-in to the red finish at a front corner edge and a couple of very small touch-ins to the silver mid-line strip nearby. Still an impressive French Dinky piece. Very minor rubbing to the ‘Societe Transports Urbains’ paper labels (barely visible rubbing).
The colourfully illustrated pictorial box is a real treat with vibrant colours on fresh, barely handled card. Scarcely any wear at all to the lid. A little shelf rubbing to the box base underside. Remnants of the old tape which kept the lid closed. French Dinky Quality Control Stamp on the inside of the box lid.
Includes the original leaflets and orange card packing piece too.
Very nice, scarce item!
