Notes
What a fine Dinky model this is – and surely one of the nicest to come out of the French Dinky factory. This version was produced between 1954-59, before its re-numbering to FD575 in 1959. A beautiful and unused example with a sleek deep blue finish and painted ridged wheels. Perfect eye-catching logo and lettering on both sides. Do note that this scarce version has the first letter in each word in blue-green. Green background to the map is darker too.
Little mark at a wheel arch and a few tiny marks besides. Stray little blue mark on the tinplate tilt. Nice original lustre throughout makes this a superb display piece. Tyres run well although note that there is fine surface splitting to some. Couple of period labels at the rear.
The box is complete and bright. Light age grubbiness in places and a few little creases. Very small end flap tear.
A classic Dinky model which displays so well!
