Notes
One of our favourite French Dinky trucks, this is one of the more difficult to find Dinky Fire Engines. It presents well with a gleaming deep cherry red lustre that has not even a touch of sunfading. In all original condition, complete with with both detachable reels at the rear.
White original tyres (little flat spot to one).
In all original condition throughout – these models in particular usually have touch-ins at the reels- this one is in honest condition, with barely any marking at all. Just a couple of little marks at a wheel arch, a dot or two, and a light scuff (small) at the rear.
The striped picture box is clean and bright with no splits or graffiti. ‘Meccano Controle’ Dinky factory Quality Control stamp on the inside of the box lid. A little of the usual shelf rubbing to underside box base and very minor age wear besides.
