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 very close to mint example finished in bright red with a black roof, jewelled headlights, white interior, black steering wheel, and intact window glazing. Early version with separate wheels and tyres (spare stowed in the boot).
Shiny black base with ‘NICKT TOYS’ and ‘LINCOLN CONTINENTAL’.
Faintest roof rub and a mark or two besides.
The colourful correct box (ATAMCO P LTD. Calcutta) is clean and complete, with quite a crisp feel. Light wear and a couple of very minor tears.
