Dinky 34C/492 Loudspeaker Van. Near mint/boxed. From The Reference Collection.
Notes
Issued between 1954-57, this classic Dinky model has an original violet blue paint finish with silver loudspeaker and light blue wheels, silver trim.
An attractive display piece with unmarked silver speakers.
A rub at a window post (probably due to enthusiastic polishing at some time). Faint rub at a wheel arch. As-new, smooth original tyres run well.
The dual-numbered box marks the transition from the old to the new numbering in 1954. This picture box is complete, crisp and very brightly-coloured. Partial tear at an end flap edge . No tears or graffiti. Small fleck of surface removal on the top surface. Very minor age wear besides.
