This model is the Dinky 14c-G-1 Coventry Climax Forklift Truck in orange.
There are no opening parts on this model but it comes with forks that raise and lower via the use of a winder mechanism. It comes with a tan driver, black metal steering wheel, black lift mechanism rails and a green forklift assembly. The forks are operated by turning the right hand side winder handle. A home built pallet and load accompanies the model.
There is no interior as everything is open. Likewise there is no glazing.
All three wheels are of the shaped hub type - solid one piece, green painted metal hubs with a black "rubber" tyre.

The box pictured is a reproduction box in orange that even carries a 10/- (ten shillings) price in pencil.
