FD898
French Dinky 898 Berliet Tractor with Transformer on an Articulated Trailer. Excellent plus-near mint/boxed. Complete with Instruction Leaflet & packing. From The Netherlands Collection.
Notes
Always an impressive and desirable French Dinky Berliet model made between 1961-65. In all original condition, with a bright orange finish, yellow metal concave wheels, two spare tyres stowed behind the cab, window glazing.
With an excellent-near mint original paint finish throughout (some unavoidable marks where the two components are attached, and also where metal meets metal at the rear ramps). Flake of paint and a few small marks on the trailer bed. Occasional small mark besides.
The transformer (FD833) is assembled, and notably complete with all of the small plug-in parts.
Inner card packing is still present and looks fresh and tear-free. Very nice!
The large striped Dinky Supertoys box is bright, fresh and clean. Small puncture has pressed back into place and is easily overlooked. MInor scuffing at the short lid ends. Small paper tear at lid edge.
Dinky stamp‘Meccano Controle’ on the inside of the lid.
Includes the often-missing Instruction Slip.
A fine addition to your Dinky commercial collection.
