Notes

This sought-after classic Dinky tanker was issued between 1958-64, this being an early issue with diecast wheels. Vibrant, original red finish throughout. Tanker is tinplate with superb transfers on both sides and at rear. Complete with an intact ladder and manhole covers. None of the usual problems often found with these models i.e. rust, crazing, discolouration to the white transfer, flaking paint to the ladder – no dents in the tanker or indeed any rust spots.
A superb display piece.

Upon close inspection, you will find the occasional little mark at some wheel arches and a few minute transfer marks.
The striped ‘Supertoys’ box is fresh, clean and bright. No graffiti. Faintly pencilled price at a lid end. Deep blue box base has a storage puncture and a couple of scratches.
