Notes
This classic Dinky truck was issued for some sixteen years in total (1964-72), this version having a metallic green cab, is a late issue presented in the end flap picture box. Model is in unused condition with both complete REFUSE WAGON labels at the sides, as well as an intact chevron label at the rear. Perfect crest transfers on both sides of the vivid green cab. All delicate deep grey rear opening shutters are intact.
None of the usual chipping head-on, showing that this truck has had careful handling only.
Couple of tiny marks and very minor age discoloured patches on the roof box.
Both plastic bins are present, complete with removable lids!
The pictorial lift-off lid box with full colour picture scene has vibrant colours. Attractive backdrop for the truck when on display! Very small end flap tear and a very small area of edge ‘fraying’.
