Notes
A fine original example in the more unusual colour finish, i.e. mid blue cab and chassis, with deep orange-yellow back and yellow wheels. This fine Dinky toy has obviously spent most of its forty five years or so in the box:
A couple of little dots head-on and a couple of little rubs at a body line detail above the rear wheel arch on one side. None of the usual marks on the cab roof or at the edges of the deep orange-yellow back. Superb lustre too!
The fresh and bright yellow picture box is a very attractive example with barely any wear at all! Vibrant strong colours and no splits or graffiti. Shiny staples too!
Not an easy find in this virtually mint condition – especially this more unusual colour issue.
