Notes
A classic Dinky advertising van made between 1955-59. A vibrant red and yellow paint finish to this attractive Dinky van:
Shiny base and the grey original tyres each have a slight flat spot (caused by being in one position for a long time).
Rear doors open and close easily. The *distinctive transfers are virtually complete – complete. A few little marks at the rear doors as you might expect and very close inspection reveals a few very small touch-ins.
The original pictorial box is bright and complete. The Dinky stamp inside the box lid dates this example 1955 ( the first year of production of this model). Corner crush ( slight surface separation at this point) and light wear besides. The vibrant blue box lower has barely any wear save for rusty staples.
