N239
Nicky/Dinky Toys 239 Vanwall Racing Car. Emerald green version. Very near mint/boxed. Scarce. From The Reference Collection.
Notes
Sought after models that are so difficult to find in good condition! Dinky dies were sold to the Indian Firm S. Kumar & Co. trading as Atamco. (1968-70). Often known as Indian-Dinky toys, the finish was poor in comparison.
A really very close to mint example finished in a rich emerald green with original silver details, blue plastic driver, steering wheel. Original sliver details. Black plastic one-piece tyres/wheels.
Racing number 35.
Very few little marks.
The colourful correct box (ATAMCO P LTD. Calcutta) is colourful, clean and crisp. A few little edge rubs. Small part-puncture. Light age/handling wear.
