Dinky 286 Ford Transit Fire Appliance. Very near mint/boxed. with Instruction Leaflet. Non-metallic red. 1st issue card box. From The BST Collection.
Notes
This Ford Transit Fire Appliance is the 1st issue in non-metallic red – a more difficult find. Complete ‘FIRE SERVICE’ paper labels on both sides, intact original aerial, opening doors with fire hose, which you can retract by means of a lever. Comes complete with the two axes! Shiny spun wheels and as-new original tyres.
Matte base. Instruction Leaflet is included ( a very small tear and marking from the model).
Model looks unused with complete paper labels and barley a mark. Light rubbing to the roof bells.
The colourful card box is complete and bright. Little end flap tear and minor handling wear as you might expect (heavy model in a comparatively flimsy box).
Issued 1968-74, although this version would be at the start of the production run.
