Dinky 153
Dinky 153 Standard Vanguard Saloon. Very near mint/boxed. Cream early issue. From Brett's Collection.
Notes
Issued between 1954-60, this model has a shining deep cream finish with cream hubs, closed in rear wheel spats, and smooth black original tyres and ‘Vanguard’ cast on the underside of the roof. This model presents well with its classic lines – not even a trace of a roof rub!
Smooth original tyres are well-shaped.
Correct that this early issue has no rear light detail and has smooth tyres.
Occasional mere dot to this most unforgiving of paint finishes.
The deeply-coloured picture box has very light wear only. Crisp feel.
