FD24U
French Dinky 24U Simca 9 "Aronde". Light blue issue. Scarce. 2nd type casting. Near mint plus/boxed. From The French Dinky section of The Reference Collection.
Notes
A most eye-catching Simca Aronde model finsihed in a distinctive pale grey-blue. Shiny convex wheels and 2nd type shark grille. Roof cross-hatching.
Such a lustre!
Shiny base (minor ‘spidering’). Smooth-running original white tyres (a little grubby in places)..
One chip at a door, otherwise hard to fault.
A very pleasing box – looks fresh with vivid colours and minimal wear (corner crumple).
