This particular model was sold on ebay by George's Good Stuff in September 2007 for £341 in the following condition:
This beautiful and very hard to find Dinky model is in absolutely stunning very close to mint perfect condition, I can see a few tiny marks at the top rear end of the tank, but apart from this the model is immaculate, hard to find better than this anywhere, it's an absolute beauty.

It comes in its equally superb original blue card box with the orange label, showing some overall age wear and a little fading to the one blue side edge on the lid, but overall very crisp and strong and all 100 per cent complete - very nice indeed!

A marvellous example of one of Dinky’s many great commercial models from the 1940s and 50s, rarely seen in these colours, and a great addition to any collection!
