Truck DUBLO AEC MERCURY Dinky Toys '60 Red 1:87 Made in England

The approximately 107 mm long metal diecast model depicts the Dublo Aec Mercury in red and green livery. The cab and body are cast as one piece, with a ribbed roof featuring raised round hatches, while the chassis is fixed with no opening elements. The wheels are plastic and the axles are metal, adding solidity to the construction. The underside bears the embossed inscription DUBLO DINKY TOYS Dublo Aec Mercury MADE IN ENGLAND MECCANO LTD. Significant paint wear and signs of use are visible, which is typical of examples from this series after many years. The paintwork consists of two colours: a red body and green cab, with black details. The model is made from die-cast metal, giving it a substantial, realistic texture; the roof and sides feature ribbing reproducing details of vehicles from the period. Overall, it has the classic character of 1960s delivery vehicles, valued by collectors for its authenticity and solid construction.

Used, collectible diecast model; after restoration it is like new (without a box, unless a box is shown in the photos). We restore models with 3D-printed replacements for missing parts and special paints made for restoring model cars. If the model shows signs of use, it has been intentionally left partly unrestored to keep its individual vintage character. The photos show the actual condition of the model.

The date given in the title or description is not always the date the casting was made. It may refer to the design of the model, the first casting series or the production of the real car. We give the dates the manufacturer states on the base. If in doubt, check all information against the photo of the base of the model.
