Berliet Crash Truck 'DEPANNAGE' by French Dinky Toys, No. 589. Red with white lettering. Near mint plus/boxed. From The Coastline Collection.
Notes
Issued between 1965-69, this Breakdown Truck is finished in vibrant deep red, cream interior, bright 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). Small rubbed area on an end flap and a small area of surface loss at another.
