Notes
A striking French Dinky Renault model – and one that does not seem to come up for sale that often!
Finished in a distinctive shade of mid-blue with white stripes and bright concave wheels. Original ‘Dunlop’ tyres (fine tread) are well-shaped. Complete with driver, all four jewelled lights and bright silver trim, A little nick to the white strip at the rear and tiny wear besides.
Little mark or two to the paint finish.
Noce to see that this item comes complete with the sheet containing* the unapplied racing numbers, number plates and Gordini labels*.
The pictorial box with red strip detail at end flaps is complete and vividly-coloured with all end flaps intact. Usually removed serrated tear-off strip is still in place too. Minor age wear/light grubbiness only. No graffiti.
