D176
Dinky 176 Austin A105 Saloon. Near mint plus/boxed. Early issue in all-grey issue with red flash. From The Reference Collection.
Notes
Early issue ( 1958-59).
This example in pale grey with a red flash is in close to mint condition with a gleaming paint finish.
A little more difficult find than the version with the red roof.
Bright baseplate and as-new original fine tread tyres.
Light casting mark on the roof (minor) and a few very minor marks to the paint finish.
Complete picture box has the correct colour spot at the end flaps. A little age grubbiness and a period pencilled price at an end flap.
