Notes
Many items from this collection were bought new during the 1960?s, after enquiring in toyshops for old, unsold shop stock.
This classic Dinky truck was issued for some sixteen years in total (1964-72), this version having a metallic 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.
None of the usual chipping head-on, showing that this truck has had careful handling only.
Just a few little marks at cab sides.
Both plastic bins are present, complete with removable lids!
The pictorial lift-off lid box has vibrant colours. Attractive backdrop for the truck when on display! Virtually shop fresh.
