FD589A
French Dinky 589A Berliet Breakdown Lorry 'Depannage Autoroutes'. Near mint/boxed. Unusual issue with GREY METAL (not chrome) wheels. With correct road sign and original aerial. From a large private European collection.
Notes
Vivid original orange finish on this desirable Breakdown Truck. Second issue (1970-71). Complete with all delicate parts (including the little red roof light) intact. Functioning winch mechanism.
Grey metal rather than the usual chrome wheels.
Just a few little marks at the occasional exposed edge, as you might expect. Complete ‘Depannage Autoroutes’ on both sides. Window glazing. Nice silver ‘Berliet’ detail head-on as well as headlights (all original).
Includes the correct road sign and the little black plastic aerial (often missing!)
The illustrated card box is bright and complete. Crisp card. Small stain at an end flap and a penned period price on one surface. Light crease and a little tear at an end flap seam. Very minor age wear besides.
