FD885
French Dinky 885 Blaw-Knox Bulldozer. Very near mint plus/boxed with upper and lower card packing pieces. Scarce model from The Reference Collection.
Notes
A fine unused example of the French assembled variation with French baseplate:
Not an easy model to find, especially in this close to perfect condition:

This example is in barely handled condition with a few very minor marks, including a couple of light base plate scratches. Complete with supple original green tracks, driver, and bright metal parts.
The sturdy Supertoys box is bright, clean and complete with both upper and lower card packing pieces. ‘Meccano Controle’ stamp on the inside of the box lid. Litle rubbing at edges and note that one corner seam of the lid has a split.
This version is harder to find than the earlier French Dinky 561 which is the British assembled model exported to France and put into a ‘Made in France’ box.
