Notes
This classic Dinky truck was issued for some sixteen years in total (1964-72), this being an early issue with a bright green cab, grey back and red plastic hubs. Red interior. Model is in unused condition with both REFUSE WAGON labels at the sides, as well as the complete chevron label at the rear. Perfect crest transfers on both sides of the vivid green cab. All delicate rear opening shutters are intact and function well.
None of the usual chipping head-on, showing that this truck has had careful handling only:
Just a couple of (probably as-made) dots at a wheel arch.
Both plastic bins are present, with lids.
The pictorial lift-off lid box has vibrant colours. Attractive backdrop for the truck when on display! Barely any wear to the clen lid, althoughbthere are a few little areas of surface removal to the base. No graffiti.
