Notes
A barely handled example of this classic Dinky truck made between 1965-70. The vivid red and palest grey finish is all original throughout. Bright jewelled headlights, perfect ‘British Road Services’ lettering above the cab. The paper labels on both doors are complete and bright:
Just the usual unavoidable paint scuffing where the trailer attaches to the cab (invisible until detached)
There are just a couple of marks to one wheel arch (minor). The trailer has close to perfect ‘British Road Services’ lettering on both sides. Bright clean plastic detachable tilt. Try as we might we cannot find any paint chipping to the pale grey trailer!
The unusual export box presentation has fared extremely well – especially considering the weight of this model and the flimsy nature of this kind of box. The original cellophane is clear and has just two tiny punctures at the top crease. Bright fresh colours throughout and none of the usual tearing at the ends which pull out.
A little careless tape removal at one end has left a small area of surface removal.
Not an easy model to find in this condition!
