Capstan Morris Commercial Van by Dinky Toys

This particular model was sold on ebay by George's Good Stuff in January 2007 for £185 in the following condition:
This beautiful and extremely hard to find Dinky model is in absolutely stunning perfect mint condition, I haven't seen a better example of this anywhere in six years of trading, there isn't a mark on it, it's an absolute beauty, and it comes in its equally superb original yellow card picture box, which is showing only the lightest age wear, with an original toy shop ink stamp on one end flap, overall very bright, crisp, clean and 100 per cent complete - very nice indeed!
All in all, a pristine example of one of Dinky's hardest to find late-1950s models, very rarely offered in this fantastic condition - one for the serious collector!
