Chevrolet El Camino in a fresh two tone cream and turquoise finish. Red interior. Shiny shaped spun wheels with suspension. Bright baseplate. In near mint condition with a couple of minor marks including the tiniest suggestion of a roof rub.
2 x Trailers in red plastic with silver diecast bases, and integral tow bars. Excellent plus condition. Opening rear door on the closed trailer as well as “ACME TRAILER HIRE” transfers on both sides (incomplete on one side, minor wear on the other). Few minor marks on the silver wheel arches of the smaller trailer.
The early lift-off lid pictorial card box is colourfully illustrated and includes the two pieces of original card packing inside the box. Minor wear only, including a little shelf grubbiness on the box base underside. No sunfading, tears or repairs.
An unusual and sought-after Dinky set.
