Notes
An original example of this classic Dinky Supertoy made between 1949-54. Later it was renumbered 971. This French issue is a rare find indeed – and a First for QDT.
Early issue – so note that this example does not have ’COLES lettering or indeed the chevron markings at the rear. Deep yellow and matt black, with yellow ridged wheels and well-shaped original grey radial tyres.With tan driver. Note the shiny gold/brass winding handles.
The model is in very close to mint condition.
A few little marks.
The early vivid deep blue box is a very attractive example with strong colours on clean intact card. Striking French paper label is complete, clean and bright. Exceptional.
Card packing insert as well as the French Instruction Leaflet.
