French Dinky 506 Aston Martin DB3 Sport. Near mint plus/boxed. From The BST Collection.
Notes
From the English casting of Dinky 104, the French Dinky factory made this version with concave metal wheels, a three-spoke cream steering wheel and of course, ‘Made in France’ on the base. Showing light handling/age wear only – and a more difficult find with racing number ‘13’. Just one of the racing numbers have a little light speckling. Vivid mid-green finish, driver, metal steering wheel, shiny base (
marking). Usual little mark to the driver’s head. Well-shaped original tyres (little surface mark to one). Issued during 1960-61.
The deep yellow pictorial box has strong colours on clean, crisp card. Lots of end flap spring. Note the puncture however (pressed back into place) caused by the driver’s head.
