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 harder to find end flap picture box with a white background. Model is in very close to mint condition with both 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.
Factory assembly mark on the front windscreen.
Both plastic bins are present, complete with removable lids!
The pictorial lift-off lid box with a white background is clean, bright, fresh and complete. Crisp, intact card. Barely any wear. Tiny tear.
