D984

Notes

Issued 1958-63, this impressive Dinky truck is a sought-after model from the Dinky Supertoys range. And virtually impossible to find absolutely mint! This example is in beautiful, very close to mint condition. Looks unused. Brightest vibrant finish with a day-one lustre to the finish. One of the best examples we have seen, this model has a vivid red and grey finish with pale yellow lettering on both sides.

Very few marks only on this large car carrier which can hold four Dinky toys on its decks. Couple of chips at a wheel arch and a few very minor marks besides. Notably the lettering is perfect and unrubbed and the light grey upper is free from the usual scuffing at raised points. The decks can be raised and lowered by means of the winding handle (damp affected now, but works well!). The hinged ramp can be lowered too. The matching Dinky Trailer (Dinky 985) could be purchased separately at the time.
The large striped Supertoys box has both upper and lower packing pieces (some near-inevitable wear and tear caused by movement of this Dinky heavyweight however).

The large striped Supertoys box is complete and clean with just one corner split to the lid. Vibrant colours. Small area of surface removal on the lid and a puncture caused by the winding handle (pressed back into place). Still a nice example:

What a wonderful display item!
