Notes
Issued between 1968-71, this is a scarce t.v. inspired French Dinky toy, featuring The Knights of the Sky’ (Les Chevalier du Ciel)! A difficult model to find.
The Renault Sinpar model is finished in khaki with blue and red original detailing. Item comes complete with the original aerial and gear stick. Painted metal concave wheels, folding tin windscreen. Bonnet-mounted camera has the original paper label applied. Front and rear number plates.
Looks completely unused. Few little bumper chips.
Correct that both plastic running figures are glued to the base of the colourful and complete plinth. Both end tabs to the plinth are present and this set presents nicely with the colourful backdrop. Very light wear.
The decorative pictorial card outer box is clean, bright and complete. A few tiny handling tears to the tuck-in section of the large end flaps. No graffiti. Light wear.
Included is the original Informative Leaflet:
