Notes
A Dinky heavyweight two piece set made between 1968-74. A shining mid blue and yellow finish on both items, complete with white detachable tilts. Truck has a white roof and red interior. Jewelled headlights and number plates (front and rear). No wing mirrors on this example.
Negligible mark or two only.
Displays nicely with a virtually shop-fresh detailed card sleeve. Minor ruffling to a couple of the wheels slots but no tears, and bearing in mind the weight of the models – quite noteworthy!
The all card outer box looks exceptionally bright and clean. Early issue with additional over-stuck label ‘First with opening cab doors’. End flaps are all present although the tuck-in part of the large end flaps have very small tears. Again, looking close to shop-fresh.
