FD885
French Dinky 885 Saviem Sinpar Steel Carrier. Very near mint/boxed. Scarce. One of the choice items from the Heart of England collection.
Notes
The first we have offered for sale in ages! This desirable commercial French Dinky truck is in fine, all original condition, notably complete with both detachable wing mirrors (including the small reflective pieces) and delicate rear lamp. All steel rods are present too and are magnetised in place. The black plastic stanchions which help to secure the load are intact too (so easily broken). All in all, this is a very fine and rare item from the French Dinky factory:
One mark at a light grey edge and at a wing mirror bracket. Couple of tiny marks at a wheel arch besides.
The colourfully illustrated lift-off lid card box is a fitting partner; day-one bright, fresh colours on crisp carefully handled card.
Stored well so colour vibrancy has been preserved. Minor shelf rubbing on the box base and a small area of surface removal on the box base too.
Inside the box you will find both card packing pieces. Small tear at a wheel slot.
