Dinky Toys 181 Volkswagen
Volkswagen by Dinky Toys, No. 181. Green version. Very, very near mint/boxed. From The Reference Collection
Notes
Such a fine and lustrous VW model! Distinctive mid-green finish with darker green wheels, original smooth black tyres are well-shaped. Bright baseplate.
Couple of very small areas of ‘flattened’ paint (as-made, factory) on a rear wheel arch (very minor).
The pictorial box is complete and strongly-coloured, with the correct, ‘in the print’ colour spot at the end flaps. Plenty of end flap spring. Light wear only.
