Notes
A small range of models in 1:65 scale made by Dinky In Hong Kong. Issued during 1968. Each comes with its own red and clear plastic garage and fixing strips.
This Mercedes 230 SL model is finished in crisp white with a matte black roof, silver spun wheels and as-new fine tread tyres. Although small in scale, there is no compromise on the details or finish, so this model has an opening bonnet with engine, windows, silver bumpers, rear light details and separate wheels and tyres (when you might have expected one-piece fitting).
One mark on the boot and a few mere dots besides.
The Mini Dinky Garage with opening garage door is intact and complete with the fixing strips. Note the old Tesco price label.
We are inclined to agree with the information on the base:
‘The small scale model with superb details and big action features’
