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.
Issued between 1962-65 in a variety of colour finishes.
This Volvo model has a wonderfully lustrous bright orange-red paint finish with a lemon interior and silver detailing at the raised bodylines and bumpers (all original). Suspension on shiny shaped spun hubs. In superb condition and a more difficult find (more usually found in a deeper red).
Only the smallest dot or two away from mint
The box is crisp and complete. Minor age /handling wear (grubbiness & a light crease) with a trace of the original price label at an end flap.
