FD582
French Dinky 582 Citroen Breakdown Truck 'DINKY TOYS'. Very near mint/boxed. Late issue with a black plastic tow hook. From a large private European collection.
Notes
A fine gleaming example of this nicely finished Citroen Breakdown vehicle, made between 1956-59 under this re-numbering. Such a lustrous finish throughout, with complete ‘DINKY SERVICE’ lettering on both sides, a very bright winding handle, and baseplate. Hard to imagine better! This truck has rarely seen the light of day. Late issue with red concave wheels and a black plastic tow hook.
Occasional small mark away from mint. Superb example!
The pictorial box is very clean, fresh and bright. Few little creases and a tiny start of a tear.
One of our favourite French Dinky models!
