D965
Dinky 965 Euclid Rear Dump Truck. Scarce 'Terex' issue. RED WHEELS. Near mint plus/boxed (hard to find picture box with WHITE BACKGROUND). From The Dorset Dinky Collector.
Notes
Always on the look-out for the unusual and rare Dinky, this collector brings some of his models to QDT.
The TEREX Version is a more difficult find, – and even harder with red wheels and in this picture box with a white background!
This promotional ‘TEREX’ issue is a sought-after Dinky commercial truck. Made between 1969-70. In close to mint condition, with perfect ‘TEREX’ transfers on both sides. Chip at roof edge and few tiny marks besides – but crucially no touch-ins!
Correct that this version has ‘TEREX’ cast into the base.
Hard to find box version is complete, brightly-coloured and has quite a crisp feel. Note the staining on one end and light age/handling wear (understandable wear – a comparatively flimsy box for this heavy model).
