Notes
An early example of this nicely finished Citroen Breakdown vehicle, later re-numbered to 582. Such a lustrous finish throughout, with very near perfect-perfect ‘DINKY SERVICE’ lettering on both sides. Shiny winding handle, axle ends and baseplate. Spare wheel stowed behind the cab. Pleasing lustre:
Wonderfully fresh baseplate and as-new tyres.
Little casting mark on one door. and a very small chip.
The pictorial box is bright and clean. Puncture on the top surface has pressed back into place. Little flecks of surface loss on one box face (caused when price labels or similar were removed).
