Notes
This scarce version has a deeper cream finish with a mid blue roof and flash at the sides, cream hubs. Interestingly, the Austin A105 was the first Dinky car to be made with window glazing!
This example is in very close to perfect condition with just the occasional mere dot. Pleasing lustrous paint finish. Shiny baseplate. Well-shaped clean white original treaded tyres.
The lighter yellow picture box impresses with vivid colours on crisp, undamaged card. . Correct blue in the print colour spot at an end flap. Dinky ‘light grey’ applied colour spot at the other! Period pencilled prices at an ed flap.
