1984 saw the 'Dunlop' liveried Talbot Van join the range. Designed as a Limited Edition, the 'Dunlop' was one of the first models to be packaged in the new maroon (J) type boxes.

Livery: (Label)
Van sides: 'DUNLOP' in black. - A tyre, Union flag, pole, lanyard and scroll in black, white, red and blue.
(Tampo)
Van sides; 'TYRES & ACCESSORIES" in white.

Variations/Rarities: It has a black body & chassis with a yellow roof with a chrome plated grille and windscreen frame.
Dunlop vans change little. Look out for the seats, which could be tan or black.
A noteable variation was in the colour of yellow plastic used to make the wheels– either a bright yellow or a paler yellow.
The paler yellow plastic was a darker shade than for example the yellow, used in conjunction with the Y12 'Silver Jubilee' model.
