Notes
An essential item in your Dinky commercial collection, this Guy van was made during Dinky’s heyday and is part of the sought-after range of advertising vans made during mid-late 1950s.
Issued between 1953-54 before its renumbering to 917.
An early issue with virtually perfect-perfect distinctive transfers on both sides.
Retouch at the top of one of the opening doors and a few very small wheel arch retouches besides. Occasional little mark to the paint finish.
Bright baseplate and well-shaped original tyres.
The deep blue card box with a paper label is in excellent bright condition. Some of the usual edge rubbing/scuffing. Period price at a short lid end.
