Dinky 280 Delivery Van

Model No 1

As Bought:

Plenty of paint chips and no back axle.

Restoration:

Finished in a black livery with 2 replacement wheel hubs and new tyres. The finishing touches were added using a "Marshes Sausages" decal set.
Not exactly a Dinky original but looks good on display.

 

Model No 2

As Bought:

Paint chips.

Restored :

Repainted into the red version. I dropped a clanger with this one though and applied the Nestles decals that were intended for 471 Austin model. Anybody got a good tip for moving decals to another model?

 

Model No 3

As Bought:

Reasonable condition. This model was mistakenly sold as a loudspeaker van!

Restoration:

Repainted in the yellow livery of the earlier 28 series. Not yet decided what decals to apply.

 

Model No 4

As Bought:

Badly paint chipped. Another model was mistakenly sold as a loudspeaker van!

Restoration:

Restored into a non Dinky livery of green with ATCO Mowers decals
