D988
Dinky 988 ABC TV Transmitter Van. Very near mint/boxed. Includes original aerial dish. From a beautiful, single-owner collection, some 25 years in the making.
Notes
Issued between 1962-69, as part of the Dinky range of TV commercial vehicles. This model is in impressive, all original condition, complete with the often missing revolving aerial dish (little wear to the stem that slots into the aperture on the roof).
Complete transfers on both sides, and just one little dot to the ‘ABC TV’ lettering above the windscreen. Lustrous original finish including the silver trim.
Barely a mark to the paint finish.
Generally shiny base (few, fine light scratches) and fine, well-shaped tyres.
The lift-off picture box is bright and complete, looking very fresh indeed. No tears or graffiti.
