Notes
From one of the largest, private collections we have ever seen, with many items bought new at the time and stored away until now. Taken as a whole, the collection provides an exciting, kaleidoscopic snapshot of popular diecast toys issued during the 1960?s -1970?s.
This sought-after Citroen Police car is in original, close to mint condition finished in a striking deepest blue and white, with an intact copper-coloured roof light, jewelled headlights, suspension on shiny concave wheels, and as-new ‘Dunlop’ embossed tyres. Complete ‘POLICE’ lettering at one door and at the rear, little nick to the letter ‘O’ on the passenger door.
Presents well and the colours are really crisp and fresh.
Just a couple of little marks at the roof edge, a mark at a bumper, and a little rub at the rear boot handle.
The colourfully illustrated card box has day-one fresh colours. All end flaps are intact and the card is so crisp! Little puncture caused by the roof light has pressed back into place. A little storage creasing. No graffiti. Small card packing piece:
