Notes
Originally purchased by the owner from a collector who enjoyed touring toy shops in the mid 60’s & early ’70’s buying models that appealed to him. If he could find a bargain then he would buy multiple examples of the same item. His collection comprises Dinky, Corgi and several Spot-On models.
This Austin Taxi is finished in a vibrant Royal Blue and white with gleaming spun wheels and as-new, fine tread original tyres. Bright silver base. Looks like old shop stock.
Complete fresh labels.
A few tiny marks only.
The colourful pictorial box is bright, fresh and complete. Crisp. Hard to find this good. Lightest wear only. Includes card packing ring.
