French Dinky 589
French Dinky 589 Berliet Crash Truck 'DEPANNAGE'. Red with white lettering. Near mint plus/boxed. From The West Midlands Collection.
Notes
Issued between 1965-69, this Breakdown Truck is finished in vibrant deep red, cream interior, shiny concave wheels, grey winch wheel, black plastic hook, spare tyre stowed behind the cab. Roof light. Window glazing. Well-shaped original radial tyres.
A few marks at some exposed edges.
These relatively frail card boxes rarely fare well. This example is brightly-coloured, clean and fresh-looking (no serrated tab). Light wear includes a small storage indentation and a faint crease on the box underside.
