D175
Dinky 175 Hillman Minx Saloon. Near mint/boxed. Tan and green issue. Early issue WITHOUT THE GREEN STRIP BENEATH THE WINDSCREEN. From The Reference Collection.
Notes
Issued between 1958-61, this classic Dinky car finished in tan and green, with green ridged wheels was issued at the start of the production run (without the green strip beneath the windscreen – late issues, including those with spun wheels, had a green strip immediately below the windscreen).
In all original, fresh condition, this Minx presents well:
Shiny base and smooth-running original treaded tyres.
A little minor marking on the roof and the occasioanl small mark besides.
Very crisp and vividly-coloured box has the correct colour spot at the end flaps. Clean. Little repaired thumb tear at an end flap edge. Small end flap seam tear.
