D128
Dinky 128 Mercedes-Benz 600. 1st issue. Deep metallic red. Excellent plus/boxed (scarce export box). From a childhood toy collection in Denmark.
Notes
Most sought-after 1st issue in deep metallic maroon with chauffeur and two passengers. Opening doors, bonnet and boot, silver sills and intact plated fittings. Notably, the bonnet emblem is intact!
Marking to the top edge of the opening bonnet rim and the occasional small mark besides. Period tax disc and GB sticker have been added.
The model comes in the scarce card and cellophane export box. Typically fragile boxes – this example still has the original cellophane (couple of small tears and a little storage crumpling). The delicate end flap hinges are intact and the card is generally clean and bright, looking fresh.
