Issued between 1954-60 in various colour finishes after its re-numbering from 30s in 1954. This has to be one of the rarest colour issues, if not the rarest! A first for QDT.
This classic Dinky Truck has a gleaming, attractive finish, with mid-blue cast wheels, a well-shaped vibrant blue tinplate tilt, bright baseplate and metal parts.
A couple of small marks on the roof and a few tiny marks besides. Closest scrutiny finds a well-matched flick of extra paint on the front bumper.
The pictorial box is complete with all end flaps and the correct colour spot.A little handling/age wear includes light creasing and a tiny internal end flap tear. Period price on one box face.
