Notes
A little more unusual in this presentation with the ramp included – earlier issues did not include a ramp which was available separately.
This particular issue has a mid blue cab and hubs, with a paler blue back including the decks. Virtually complete – complete ‘DINKY TOYS DELIVERY SERVICE’ lettering on both sides and back. Large baseplate print with 982 stamped on the trailer. The sheen on this model shows that it has been handled only occasionally. Smooth original tyres.
Usual marks around the hinged ramp which are practically unavoidable. Barely a mark besides.
The ‘Dinky Supertoys’ striped box is the slightly wider version, since it does contain the ramp (printed on the box too). It is complete and bright, feeling sturdyLight wear and a little (probably as-made) wrinkle in the paper label on one short lid end. Rusty staples. Nice to see the nearly-always missing deep blue packing wedge is still present.
Dinky 794 Loading Ramp is in virtually mint condition, and the yellow card sleeve-style box is complete, clean and bright. Fresh, with a crisp feel. Very nice!
