French Dinky 571 Saviem Transporter with Sulky. Near mint plus/boxed. With usually missing reins, decals applied. No leaflet. Scarce item from 'The New European Collection'.
Notes
A scarce and sought-after item from The French Dinky factory, issued between 1969-71, 1:43 scale.
An attractive set, comprising:
1) Saviem Goelette Horse Box finished in blue and white with plastic wood effect side panels. Opening door and two-part top section at the rear. Concave blue metal wheels. In close to mint condition – you have to peer closely to find a mark.
2) Green two-wheeled plastic Sulky complete with horse and driver. Complete with all fragile parts intact and of course those elusive reins. Racing numbers applied.
The pictorial plinth serves as a superb backdrop with appropriate art work. No tears at wheel slots and the card is crisp, bright and clean. Note the tear to one front corner.
No Instructions with this example. Labels applied.
The pictorial end flap box is generally crisp and bright with just one small tear to the tuck-in part of one large end flap. No repairs, punctures or graffiti. Nearly always suffering age wear and tear, this example has rubbing, light handling wear and a very small area of surface loss at an end flap.
Period shop stamp on the inside of one large end flap. Colours are vibrant and there is none of the mottling to the white background picture (common fault). No packing.
