FD581
French Dinky 581 Berliet Container Truck. Very near mint/boxed. Scarce LATE ISSUE with RIVETTED PLATFORM & PAINTED TOW HOOK, PAINTED CONCAVE WHEELS. From an impeccable collection in The Netherlands.
Notes
The first we have handled, this is a scarce fine, all original example of this attractive French Dinky Berliet Truck. Such a glowing deep red, black and grey finish!
Note the rivetted platform on this late issue, along with the painted tow hook and correct for this late issue concave painted wheels.
A stunning example and typical of the high quality from this most discerning of collectors.
Very bright and fresh on the underside too.
Removable container load has an authentic deeper grey finish, with sliding front and a lifting eye on the top.
Looking unused and barely handled, we can find just a couple of mere dots.
The pictorial box is complete and bright with a very crisp feel to the card. Only the most minor wear.
