D490
Dinky 490 Electric Dairy Van 'Express Dairy'. Cream with red flatbed and wheels. Near mint/boxed (491 box with cream colour spot). From The Reference Collection.
Notes
Issued between 1954-60 under this later numbering, this version has a shining cream finish, bright red chassis and matching ridged wheels.
Complete lettering to the cab.
Just a few small marks only. In all original condition.
This model is presented in the 491 box which has the correct cream colour spot. Strictly, there is no reason why this model should not be partnered with this box (since it is essentially the same model made at the same time), although this is a first for us! No graffiti. One large end flap has been re-attached.
