French Dinky 24XT
French Dinky 24XT Ford Vedette 'TAXI'. Black & LEMON-CREAM issue. Very near mint/not individually boxed. From The Brighton Collection.
Notes
Issued between 1956-59, this Ford Vedette Taxi model has a really shining sleek black and lemon-cream finish with bright convex wheels.
Exceptional!
Looks carefully handled and stored. Closest scrutiny reveals a couple of mere dots at the front bumper. MInor rubbing to the red ‘TAXI’ lettering, but probably as-made. Feels harsh to downgrade from mint for this.
This model would have been sold from a shopkeeper’s trade box.
