Dinky 138
Dinky 138 Hillman Imp Saloon. In METALLIC BLUE with RED INTERIOR. Very scarce version in exceptional condition. Very, very near mint/boxed. From The Cumbrian Collection.
Notes
Rare to come to the market place.
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 bright red interior, jewelled lights and a silver baseplate.
A superb, barely handled example.
Couple of negligible marks away from mint.
Very fresh and clean correct late issue picture box (with white background) is close to old shop stock condition. Thin light rub at anon-picture side. Two period shop labels (dollars).
An exceptional find.
