D401
Dinky 401 Coventry Climax Fork Lift Truck. Very near mint/boxed, with upper and lower packing pieces. Later issue in yellow lift off lid box and light grey original tyres version. From the Italian collection.
Notes
Issued between 1954-64 under this numbering, this Fork Lift Truck presents very well indeed with a lustrous deep orange body, green forks and hubs. Lighter grey original tyres.
Hard to find a mark on this unused example from 1959 (Dinky stamp inside the lid). There is a little area of rather rough casting toward the rear. Couple of tiny marks to the paint finish.
Lift-off lid picture box is complete and bright. Minor age grubbiness and tiny wear besides.
