Dinky Toys 117 Four Berth Caravan
Four Berth Caravan by Dinky Toys, o. 117. Blue & cream issue with gloss base. Near mint plus/late 188 box with overstuck 117 Dinky stamp. With card packing ring. Unusual issue from The Coastline Collection.
Notes
Issued between 1963-69, this delightful model has a fresh light blue and yellow-cream finish, intact opening bight brown plastic door, and detailed deep interior. Gloss baseplate. Fine example in all original condition with shiny spun wheels and a grey plastic jockey wheel. Suspension. As-new fine tread original tyres.
Clear glass. Shiny towing hitch.
Little mark to the paint on the cream panel at the front and a tiny mark or two besides.
Note that this is strictly the earlier issue 188 since it has the small roof skylight, although this issue is pictured on the box. Note this bx has the factory over-stickers ‘117’ throughout.
This bright, lighter yellow box is fresh, clean and bright. Really crisp too. Quite an unusual variation. With correct colour spot. Penned number on an end flap.
