Notes
Sought after models that are so difficult to find in good condition! Dinky dies were sold to the Indian Firm S. Kumar & Co. trading as Atamco. (1968-70). Often known as Indian-Dinky toys, the finish was poor in comparison.
A close to mint example finished in this pleasing Powder Blue, with original silver details, original driver, and black steering wheel. One-piece tyres/wheels. Grey plastic driver.
Complete racing numbers which are most-eye-catching in a shiny ‘chrome’ (foil) colour finish with bold ‘35’ numbering in black. Please note that the racing numbers are truly reflective, although the images may not quite show this.
Black base has the lettering ‘JAGUAR TYPE D’ visible, as well as the product number.
For comparison only, please take a look at this Powder Blue version (foreground) with the Sky Blue version behind.
The colourful correct box (ATAMCO P LTD. Calcutta) is complete and bright. Some of the usual wear and tear that plague these comparatively flimsy boxes.
