Dinky Toys 157 Jaguar XK120
Jaguar XK120 Coupe by Dinky Toys, No. 157. Very near mint/boxed. Scarce issue in PLUM-CERISE and turquoise. From The West Midlands Collection.
Notes
A very close to mint example of this desirable Dinky car which is in all original gleaming bright condition. Wonderful original finish in this scarce shade of distinctive plum (more often found in the bright cerise and green). Shiny base and well-shaped tyres with a light tread.
Obviously barely handled, this model has the occasioanl barely visible mark/rub.
None of the usual marking at front or rear bumpers.
Presents well.
The box is complete and bright, with the correct colour spot. Some grubby marks and wear, although quite a crisp feel and no tears.
