Notes
Unfinished models were exported to South Africa from 1966. They were sent as castings and painted and assembled there, largely as a way of getting around the laws prohibiting export of finished goods to South Africa at this time. All housed in Dinky boxes with some Afrikaans text and of course most importantly the Arthur E.Harris print on the box.
Finished in an attractive gleaming deep cream with deep red seating, driver. Shiny spun wheels, bright chrome, gloss base (minor marking), South African rivets, and white fine tread tyres (one has a split).
Just a few minor marks to the paint.
One of the rarest Dinky models.
