Notes
Always on the look-out for the unusual and rare Dinky, this collector brings some of his models to QDT.
This is a scarce issue in close to perfect condition, complete with the two original horses. Detailed transfers on both sides have a little minor rubbing. Unrubbed lettering/horse transfer at the front of the cab.
Pleasing lustre – in all original condition.
Occasional small mark to the paint finish, nearly all confined to the opening doors. Original well-shaped black treaded tyres.
A hard model to find in any condition.
Comes complete with both original horses too!
Striped Supertoys box is clean and brightly-coloured. Very minor wear only. Model produced 1961-64. Dated 1961 (Dinky stamp inside the box lid).
