FD24H
French Dinky 24H Mercedes 190SL. Very near mint/boxed. SILVER & BLACK ISSUE. Scarce, sought-after version from a beautiful, single-owner collection, some 25 years in the making.
Notes
This collector wanted only the best examples in his collection ? always a discerning buyer of the finest examples he could find. After over 25 years, he has now decided to part with items from his own extensive collection.
This is one of them.
This is a fine French Dinky model – an early issue (1958-59), and a most difficult find in silver and black. Shiny spun convex wheels. An exquisite French Dinky!
Shiny base and smooth black tyres run well.
One flake of paint low down on one side, trace of a roof rub and a couple of mere dots on the roof besides.
The pictorial box has strong colours on crisp card. No tears or graffiti. Plenty of end flap spring. Very minor wear only. Faint pencilled date at an end flap.
The first in this colour finish that we have offered for sale in a long time.
