Dinky 601
Dinky 601 Austin Paramoke. Early issue in card box. Complete with parachute and rarely found with BOTH Instruction Leaflets. Very, very near mint/boxed. From The Berlin Collection.
Notes
Early issue first made during 1966 with spun wheels and presented in the pictorial card box (later issues were bubble-packed).
Model has a virtually mint original paint finish and comes with a spare wheel and steering wheel (early issues never had a driver).
Tin windscreen can be raised and lowered (no corrosion). The grey plastic detachable top is complete with all delicate parts intact.
The green plastic assault platform is present, complete and intact, too. This Mini Moke does not appear to have been ever removed from its platform.
Fortunately, this example comes complete with both the parachute and most notably both Instruction Leaflets.
The colourfully illustrated pictorial card box is clean, bright and fresh although there is a little tear to one small end flap tuck-in section (always vulnerable). Tiny tear besides. Light wear/creasing, Often found with heavy wear since it can be quite a task to fit all of the contents inside! This box has fared better than many we have seen.
