French Dinky 1419 Ford Thunderbird Coupe in Trade Box

Notes
What a treat this is for any French Dinky collector! A rare and close to perfect sturdy card retailers box (meant for three Ford Thunderbird models) complete with the original dividers, and inside we find a shop-fresh Ford Thunderbird Coupe in its clear lidded box, complete wth all accessories and unused.
Original old tape at the sides of this near pristine, perspex box still has the little black Dinky Toys label attached at the side of the lid. Fixed to its pristine ‘roadway’ inner sits the metallic green Thunderbird Coupe in virtually perfect, and certainly unused condition. A couple of minor marks may be found after the closest scrutiny, probably as-made.
Fastened with old tape to the base of the plastic box base, we found the instructions and roadway sign still sealed in a clear packet.
The retailers outer card box is a scarce find!
Just the occasional handling ruffle and storage grubbiness. The interior of the box, complete with the dividers is virtually pristine.
A wonderful Dinky old shop stock item to add to your collection!
