This Dinky model was renumbered to 971 in 1954, and continued until 1962.
Deep yellow, with black chassis. Silver lights and black air intake. Operating crane controlled by two corded handles: one raises and lowers the jib, the other hoists a weighted hook up and down. The body of the crane slews on the chassis and the cab features a detailed driver. Yellow wheels with grey tyres.
With general play wear, rust on the bare metal parts and jib, and requiring some cleaning. It needs new cord and a hook, both of which are available as spares from various sources, as are the tyres which are cracked.
