Notes
Originally purchased by the owner from a collector who enjoyed touring toy shops in the mid 60’s & early ’70’s buying models that appealed to him. If he could find a bargain then he would buy multiple examples of the same item. His collection comprises Dinky, Corgi and several Spot-On models.
This promotional ‘TEREX’ issue is a sought-after Dinky commercial truck. Made between 1969-70. In very close to mint condition with perfect ‘Terex’ transfers on both sides. One little mark on the cab roof edge and a couple of minor marks besides. . Fresh, bright and original throughout!
Correct that this version has ‘Terex’ cast into the base.
End flap pictorial scene box is vivid and complete. A more difficult find version with a white background.
This box has survived better than most, with minor wear and a small part-puncture on one non-picture side ( caused by the winding handle). None of the usual wear and tear at the end flaps. In fact , one set of end flaps do not appear to have ever been prised open. Nice to see that this model comes complete with the nearly always missing card packing piece too.
Unusual to find this issue, especially complete.
