French Dinky Toys 23D Auto-Union Record Car
23D Auto-Union Record Car by French Dinky Toys, No. 23D. Green, red wheels. Near mint plus/never individually boxed. Scarce model from The Cologne Collection.
Notes
A very attractive early Dinky racing car in mid-green with smooth black tyres on red ridged wheels. Bright axles. Gloss black rivetted baseplate with Auto Union stamped. Correct that this post-war issue would have no driver. Racing number 2 in red circle on both sides.
A handsome example.
Two light tyre flat spots. Little graze on one wheel arch.
Would have been supplied from a shopkeeper’s trade box of six.
