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 very close to mint example finished in sleek silver, with original blue plastic driver, and black steering wheel. One-piece tyres/wheels.
Complete racing numbers transfers throughout. Silver with bold ‘35’ numbering in black.
Black base has the lettering ‘JAGUAR TYPE D’ visible, as well as some of the product number.
The colourful correct box (ATAMCO P LTD. Calcutta) is bright. Some of the usual wear that plague these comparatively flimsy boxes and a puncture that has largely pressed back into place.
