N120
Nicky (Dinky casting) Toys 120 Jaguar 'E' Type. Very near mint/boxed. Scarce! From The Cambridgeshire Collection.
Notes
Sought-after models that are so difficult to find in good condition! Dinky dies were sold to the Indian Firm S. Kumar & Co. trading as Atamco. (1968-70). Often known as Indian-Dinky toys, the finish was poor in comparison.
This ‘E’ Type Jaguar model is finished in silver with an intact detachable black hood, and detachable cream folded hood. Original windscreen is complete too. Negligible mark or two. Looks like old shop stock.
An early issue since the Dinky lettering on the baseplate is still partially visible with just the letters ‘DIN’ blanked out (so ‘KY’ and ‘TOYS’ still visible), as well as the original lettering ‘Jaguar ’E’ Type from Dinky. No reference to the Indian manufacturer made on the base of this early Nicky Toys model.
The box (to Nicky toys standard) is very nice indeed – complete, clean and with a crisp feel to the card. No tears or graffiti. Small push-out panel is till intact on the side of the box.
One of the best Nicky toys models we have seen!
