Notes

The first we handled handled in this complete condition! A guaranteed authentic example of this rare French Dinky promotional model.

An all original example of the promotional Citroen H Van finished in mid-blue with aluminium concave wheels and perfect-very near perfect ‘BAROCLEM’ transfers throughout.
Exceptionally difficult piece to find in any condition, this model is very close to mint!
Faint marking to the ‘BAROCLEM’ transfer on one side.
Correct tyres with light tread are well-shaped.

Fd561l722

Occasional minor mark only.

Note that this example is correct in all respects with the correct tyres, correct hand-painted silver details on the cab step, correct that the the central post is not fully painted, and the door interior is not painted either.

The colourful and distinctive picture box has a small area of surface loss on one side, otherwise very close to mint with only the most minor wear.

Fd561l724

Extremely scarce is this outer BAROCLEM Battery Box which has tiny wear. A factory fault – or the rarest version – with + + signs on the terminals rather than + -.

Fd561l723

Outstanding lustre, this is a premium display piece and one of the best surviving examples.
