Coles Hydra Truck by Dinky Toys, No. 980. Very near mint/boxed. With polystyrene packing wedge, packing sleeve. Box printed instructions. Scarce 2nd issue in ORANGE from The Reference Collection.
Notes
Harder to find 2nd issue in orange and black, this Coles Hydra Truck has one side and one rear handle.
Bright fresh ‘Coles’ and chevron labels. Looks unused. In very close to mint condition (couple of negligible marks).
With polystyrene packing wedge.
The colourful end flap card box is especially prone to wear given the weight of this truck. This example has light wear only.
Instructions on this second issue are printed on the box side.
With packing sleeve:
