Notes
One of the rarest Dinky models – just 500 were made for the company ‘C.P.C. Industries’, Esher, in Surrey.
This authentic example has a matt white cab, black chassis and a white plastic tank. Original black treaded tyres (spare stowed on the base) and white plastic wheels.
An exciting find – this model is in virtually mint-mint condition throughout – and that includes the paper labels at the sides and rear, complete transfer above the cab, too.
Given to sales representatives from The Corn Products Company to give out to existing clients – so this model would never have been available to the general public, so never a child’s toy.
Housed in the correct card box with a yellow lower and a white upper. Lightest wear only.
