Notes
Always an impressive and desirable French Dinky Berliet model made between 1961-65. This model has a bright orange finish, yellow metal concave wheels, two spare tyres stowed behind the cab, window glazing.
With close to mint paint finish throughout (some unavoidable marks where the two components are attached).
Minute inspection finds a few very small dot retouches.
The transformer (FD833) is assembled, and notably complete with all of the small plug-in parts.
Inner card packing is still present and looks fresh. Little slot edge minor surface tear and the occasional little ruffle. Penned ‘TRANSFO’ written.
The large striped Dinky Supertoys box is complete and tear-free. Some sunfading to the lid. Minor age wear besides. No punctures.
Dinky stamp‘Meccano Controle’ on the inside of the lid.
