D255
Dinky 255 Mersey Tunnel Police Van. Very, very near mint/boxed. From The single owner from new collection in Buckinghamshire.
Notes
With a vivid, all original red finish, this desirable Land-Rover model was made between 1955-61.
Gloss red finish (no sunfading) is close to perfect. ‘Mersey Tunnel’ lettering is crisp on both sides as are the ‘Police’ labels with a black background on the cab roof.
Bright base, too.
it is upon the most critical inspection, that a couple of tiny marks may be found.
The box is brightly-coloured and complete. A little crumpled now (during storage) . Coupe of little edge tears. Shopkeeper’s period price at an end flap (pencilled).
