This particular model was sold on ebay by George's Good Stuff in April 2006 for £214.99 in the following condition:
This beautiful and rarely offered Dinky model is showing some tiny marks here and there, including some wear behind the two cab tanks, but is in overall stunning excellent to near mint condition, it's an absolute beauty, one of the best I've seen in years.
It comes in its original blue and white striped lift-off lid card box with blue base, which is showing only a little light age wear and pressure spots from the propellor but is strong, bright and 100 per cent complete and intact. The date stamp inside the box lid says E J 1160, which I believe means this model was made in 1960.
All in all, an absolutely marvellous example of one of Dinky’s hardest to find large commercial models from the 1950s and 60s, and a great addition to any collection!
