French Dinky 586 Citroen 55 Milk Lorry. Mid-blue & white issue. Very near mint/boxed. Complete with all 30 milk crates still taped. Scarce. From The SC Collection.
Notes
Issued between 1961-65, this sought-after French Dinky Citroen model is in very close to mint condition with a gleaming light blue and white paint finish, blue metal wheels, suspension and window glazing. Looking as-new original tyres and a very bright baseplate. All metal parts, including axle ends, are very bright and fresh. Comes with the full complement of 30 little plastic milk crates which are still taped in place (original tape).
Notably, this model is in completely original condition.
Looking virtually shop-fresh:
Little piece of the original tape which keeps all the crates in place is also visible at one end of the storage shelves. Very small area of tarnishing on one of the lower rails of the storage shelves. Occasional minor mark to the paint finish only. The cab is in virtually mint condition. Really difficult to find this good!
The attractive blue and yellow picture box is clean and fresh, with vivid colours and no graffiti. Minor shelf rubbing to the box base underside.
A difficult model to find (particularly in all original condition) – this is a must for your collection.
