Dinky 281 Luxury Coach. Scarce issue in cream with orange flash. Near mint plus/boxed (wear). From The Reference Collection.
Notes
Issued between 1954-59 in various colour finishes, this example is one of the harder to find versions in cream (not the darker fawn version) with deep orange side flashes, cream wheels.
Nice lustre to the original finish.
Couple of little marks at front wheel arches and a little paint miss head-on.
The box is complete with the correct colour spot (although the number 3 has been written on it), and the inside of one large flap has penned writing from the original owner dated 17th April 1964. Tape residue and a couple of small areas of surface loss on the non-picture sides Period pencilled price at an end flap.
