Notes
A beautiful and sought-after model from a classic, high quality Dinky collection – for more information on this collection, please do take a look at the article under the title ‘The BST Dinky Collection’ accessed by clicking the Blog link to the left of this page.
One of the rarest French Dinky models, this Taunus is finished in darkest green and white with notably complete ‘POLIZEI’ lettering in cream on both doors and boot. Blue light on the roof. Rarely comes up for sale.
Shiny base and well-shaped original tyres.
The occasional negligible mark visible upon close scrutiny.
Correctly presented in the deep yellow picture box with German print. Clean and complete, brightly-coloured. No tears or punctures. Only the most minor age/handling wear. Card packing piece is included.
Extremely scarce – and in this condition a real find!
