D232
Dinky 23F/232 Alfa Romeo Racing Car. Very, very near mint /boxed. Wonderful condition - and scarce in a DUAL-NUMBERED box. From an impeccable collection in The Netherlands.
Notes
A classic Dinky racing car made during Dinky’s heyday. Shining red and white finish, red diecast hubs. Grey tyres are especially fine, looking as-new with no flat spots or yellowing.
We have not seen a better example. Gives the impression of unsold old shop stock.
Couple of tiny marks only and a stray ‘squiggle’ of factory white paint immediately behind the driver’s seat. Not even a rub on the driver’s head.
The harder to find dual-numbered box has day-one intense colours on clean, fresh-looking card. Couple of really tiny handling tears and a crease.
