Notes
Sought after models that are so difficult to find in good condition! Dinky dies were sold to the Indian Firm S. Kumar & Co. trading as Atamco. (1968-70). Often known as Indian-Dinky toys, the finish was poor in comparison.
A close to mint Triumph Vitesse model finished in deep cream with a red stripe, off-white interior, black steering wheel, and intact window glazing. Early version, so separate wheels and tyres.
Shiny black base with ‘DINKY TOYS’ lettering, Dinky product number 134 and details clearly visible. Indian Licensee details visible.
Few little chips to the paint finish. Small casting mark on the bonnet.
The rare early box with DINKY TOYS print is bright and complete. An early picture box (with cream background)and correct with ATAMCO P LTD. Calcutta on the underside:
A little of the usual wear including a small area of surface removal. Note the period penned price on one side.
