An impressive and desirable French Dinky Berliet model made between 1961-65. In all original condition, with a bright orange finish, yellow metal concave wheels, two spare tyres stowed behind the cab, window glazing.
With a near mint original paint finish throughout (some unavoidable marks where the two components are attached, and also where metal meets metal at the rear ramps). Occasional small mark besides.
The transformer (FD833) is assembledand complete with all delicate parts.
The large striped Dinky Supertoys box is complete if rather grubby now.
Usual rubbing and wear at edges etc. No graffiti. Tiny section of the box base has sunfading.
Dinky stamp ‘Meccano Controle’ on the inside of the lid.
