Notes
Now here’s a rare Dinky commercial – so often missing from even the most extensive Dinky collections! The last version to be made for a short time in 1964, this truck has a deep blue cab and chassis with a light yellow band around the cab, light yellow back (rivetted) and red plastic wheels.
We stress that this is an original item throughout. So often, these high profile Dinky commercials are found with touch-ins. It is refreshing to see one in honest condition.
And with such a pleasing gloss to the finish too.
Shiny metal parts and that includes the axle ends and rivet.
A small light roof scratch and a few tiny marks nearby. Little marks in the expected places, too (mostly at wheel arches).
The box is clean, bright and and fresh, showing no corner edge rubbing to the lid. Small area of surface loss on one side of the lid. Base has some light fading to the portion not covered by the box lid. Few light shelf rubs on the underside. Nice to see the little card packing piece still present too.
A high profile, sought-after Dinky commercial truck in close to perfect condition!
