French Dinky 1435
French Dinky 1435 Citroen Presidentielle. Very near mint/boxed. Includes original flag, intact bonnet emblem and Instruction Leaflet. From a most knowledgeable and enthusiastic collector in South London.
Notes
A sought-after French Dinky model, this Citroen Presidentielle model has a sleek two-tone grey finish, detailed flock fawn interior with driver, bonnet mounted shield and delicate French flag.
Number plates are complete both front and rear.
A very fine example indeed – barely a mark. Just a few tiny smudges of factory silver on one rear door.
The *box impresses with bright, fresh colours on clean, intact card. Bright red card plinth (marks where the tyres have rested). Remains of the tape which kept the bubble lid in place. Very small area of surface loss due to removal of tape on one side edge of the red plinth.
The delicate bubble casing is notably intact.
Pictorial lift-off lid has bright colours on clean, sturdy card. Remains of the original tape used to keep the lid in situ. No corner splits or heavy wear – a fresh example that has been carefully handled and stored. Complete with the Instruction Leaflet, too.
Issued between 1970-71.
