Dinky 138

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.
The first we have offered for sale.

This is the later issue (1968-73) in the scarce late issue picture box.
The Hillman Imp model has a vibrant metallic blue finish with a blue interior, jewelled lights and a silver baseplate.
A superb, barely handled example.
Couple of little marks at a door handle and a small area of rough casting on a bonnet edge.
Complete, correct late issue picture box (with white background) has light wear.
