D253
Dinky 253 Daimler Ambulance. Very near mint/boxed. Scarce.
Notes
This later version has a matte white finish, red cast hubs and window glazing.
Hard to find a mark, although there is a small casting blemish on the roof and an additional pin-head sized touch of creamy-white paint at this site.
Large print on a bright baseplate. Black knobbly tyres.
The correct paler yellow late issue box is complete with all end flaps, although a little ruffled and there is some wear and tear.
Issued between 1960-62.
