Notes
Issued between 1959-61 with a type 3 Leyland grille, this classic Dinky bus presents well with a lustrous original red and cream paint finish, red cast wheels and well-shaped, smooth tyres. Virtually complete – complete lettering on both sides – earlier issue so DUNLOP lettering is in upright print.
Hard to find the merest mark to the paint finish. Minute scrutiny finds a couple of very small, subtle retouches.
The bright and fresh picture box has a crisp feel. All end flaps are complete. Correct colour spot. Light wear/grubbiness.
