D512
Dinky 512 Guy Flat Truck. First issue in Dull Orange & Mid-Green with early ridged wheels (not grooved). Rare. Near mint/boxed. From The Reference Collection.
Notes
Rare 1st issue example made between 1949-54 with no triangular lugs next to the number plate, early ridged wheels, and rear axle fixed by tin clips. Large unpainted hook.
The first we have ever offered for sale in this dull orange and mid-green finish, with darker green ridged (not grooved Supertoy) wheels.
Bolt fixing and DINKY SUPERTOYS on the base. Spare wheel.
Presents well although close inspection reveals little retouches at three wheel arches and the petrol tank.
The correct early buff box with picture label is complete, bright and sound. A little minor wear commensurate with age. Faint factory stamped ‘O’ at one lid end.
The first we have ever offered for sale in this colour finish.
