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.
Scare first issue with spun wheels. Perfect roof sign. Paint finish of turquoise and white is in very close to mint condition with just two small marks at an opening door hinge. Opening bonnet and boot. Detailed engine. Number plate “MTB 21G” at front and rear. Complete, bright and fresh “Police” labels on the doors.
The early pictorial card box is bright and complete. Thin score mark on one picture face. Period pricing.
