1) Dinky 250 Mini Cooper. This car has jewelled headlights, detailed casting with opening doors and bonnet, tipping seats and “POLICE” signs on doors and roof. Whizzwheels. ‘K’ reg number plates front and rear. Very close to mint (few tiny marks).

2) Dinky 254 Police Patrol Range Rover. Another detailed cast model with jewelled headlights, opening doors and bonnet, tipping seats, detailed moulded windows, light blue interior. “POLICE” roof sign, fluorescent strip down both sides and running the length of the Range Rover. ‘K’ registration number plates. In very close to mint condition.

3) Dinky 287 Police Accident Unit. With spun wheels. Detailed model with a sliding driver’s door (revealing driver seated behind the wheel), opening service door, jewelled headlights, “POLICE” roof sign and fluorescent orange label “POLICE” sign at both sides. Space at rear for stowing the Warning Signs and cones. Light grey spotlight. All labels are complete. ‘F’ registration number plates. Note the small area of rough casting (raised dots) on one of the sliding doors. Creamy-white paint at this site and at the rear edge nearby (factory, we believe). Near mint plus.

Included are the two original card covers (correct) which fit over the Rover and the Accident Unit and some of the original fixing tabs:

The inner card stand on which the models sit is fresh and bright with detailed colour scene to display the Police vehicles. Couple of slot tears and a small puncture. Note the bollards on this later issue are red and white ( early feature, alter sets would have red and yellow bollards).

Outer box is bright, crisp and complete with no graffiti. A little age/handling wear only. Hard to find this good!
