Notes
A sought-after model from the Dinky range of BBC vehicles made between 1959-64. A deep lustrous shade of green with a pale grey stripe and complete detailed decals on both sides.
So often the detachable dish goes astray – nice to see this one is still present! Some marking on the roof where it has come into contact with the extending ladder. A few marks besides. Little ’speckled area on the extending ladder.
Shiny baseplate, winding handles and cuffs.
The box is bright, fresh-looking and complete with no splits. Barely any wear at all! Both packing pieces are included (couple of little tears), along with the Instruction Leaflet and Quality Control Tag:
