French Dinky 1425E
French Dinky 1425E Matra 630. Near mint plus (applied transfers)/boxed. Rare early card box with instruction leaflet, larger picture leaflet & set of transfers with backing sheet. From The Berlin Collection.
Notes
An exciting French Dinky racing model with a detailed original finish in mid-blue with racing number 5 labels. Decorative labels have been carefully applied at some time (although note that another set of transfers are included too).
Few tiny marks to the paint finish and a couple of small nicks to the front part of the green strip transfer.
So rare in this early box presentation! Slimmest of card boxes also contains a set of unapplied transfers, with protective sheet, small Instruction Slip and a larger picture leaflet.
Later issues would also contain a traffic sign, although it is quite obvious that this early issue would never have had one – it is not mentioned on the box and apart from this there simply would be no room for it in the box! Snuggest fit, typical of French Dinky card boxes.
This rare box is clean and bright, with no tears or graffiti. Small area of surface loss on one non-picture side.
