FD589
French Dinky 589 Berliet Crash Truck 'DEPANNAGE'. Red with white lettering. Very, very near mint/boxed. Another scarce item from the 1200 model Italian collection!
Notes
Issued between 1965-69, this breakdown truck is finished in vibrant red, cream interior, shiny concave wheels, grey winch wheel, black plastic hook, spare tyre stowed behind the cab. Roof light. Window glazing.
Obviously never played with, this model is in virtually mint condition. If you peer closely enough, you may see a couple of negligible marks (most would call it mint!).
These relatively frail card boxes rarely fare well. This example is brightly-coloured and complete with all end flaps intact. So this example has fared better than many! A little light creasing, minor wear at end flaps. Faint glue stain where an old shop label has been removed. Little stain besides.
