Notes
Issued between 1960-64, this eye-catching Dinky taxi has a mid orange-yellow and red paint finish, bright shaped spun wheels with suspension and white knobbly tyres. Pale cream interior interior and lighter steering wheel. Gloss un-numbered baseplate and a complete ‘Taxi’ sign on the roof. Presents very nicely indeed with a vibrant original finish with virtually complete-complete lettering at both sides:
The occasional negligible dot and the original paint finish is a little ‘bubbly’ in places.
The lighter yellow picture box is clean and strongly-coloured. Light age grubbiness/mottling and a small thumb tear at an end flap edge. Tiniest puncture on the top surface.
Original packing ring is included.
