This is a gorgeous example of the Dinky craft! I have two others so it’s time for this one to go, but isn’t it a beauty!

The green color represents urban development for British cities, so I’m guessing this was meant as a truck run by the municipality. Its rear compartment, which makes it a tipper in British English, or a dump truck in American English, rises smoothly on its hydraulic. Everything is all original and functioning, although of course there is some play wear from a 1971 toy.

Please see the photographs for a complete description of the condition of the item as well as the item itself.

Thank you very much for looking; we have many other vintage toys available.
