FD582
French Dinky 582 Citroen Breakdown Truck 'DINKY TOYS'. Concave wheels & treaded tyres, metal tow hook issue. Very, very near mint/boxed. From The French Dinky section of The Reference Collection.
Notes
A fine gleaming example of this nicely finished Citroen Breakdown vehicle, made between 1956-59 under this re-numbering. Such a lustrous finish throughout, with complete ‘DINKY SERVICE’ lettering on both sides, a very bright winding handle, and baseplate (couple of little rubs). Hard to fault otherwise. This truck has rarely seen the light of day.
Metal tow hook version and deeper red concave wheels. Well-shaped, fine tread original tyres.
The pictorial box is very clean, fresh and bright. Crisp feel to the card. Tiniest start of a small end flap tear. Barely any wear at all. Couple of small creases.
