D161
Dinky 161 Austin Somerset Saloon. Scarce red and yellow version. Near mint/boxed. From a collection of rare Dinky models in the U.K.
Notes
Now here’s a rare and sought-after variation! This two-tone red and yellow classic Dinky car was issued between 1956-59. Surely one of the most eye-catching Dinky cars!
A desirable car in close to mint condition. Minor mark or two, although on close inspection a few little touch-ins may be found. Not a trace of a roof rub, this model has a wonderfully vivid lustre!
The box is complete, clean and bright with no tears. Very fresh indeed with crisp resistant end flaps.
Notoriously difficult to get in good condition!
