Notes

We are agents for a large lifetime Dinky collection. Some items were purchased directly from toy shops during the 1960s. He would travel to toyshops in the search for any old or out-of date stock, since scarcely anyone collected in those early days. Many were bought or swapped at early swapmeet/toyfairs. Quite a few of the unboxed models were taken straight from trade boxes. An interesting and varied collection that has been amassed over some 30 or so years.

Issued between 1956-59 in turquoise finish,with racing number 25. Red seats and hubs, white driver. A fine lustrous finish, this example shows minimal handling.

A few incidental marks only – this is a very nice example. Complete racing number transfers on both doors and bonnet, intact original windsceen, original driver and a very bright baseplate. Just about as nice as you could wish! None of the usual chipping at front and rear bumpers or indeed on the driver’s head!
The box is quite crisp and bright with the correct colour spot at the end flaps. A small puncture at one large end flap which has also pierced the smaller end flap beneath. Minor grubiness besides – but no tears or graffiti!

A desirable Dinky car – particularly in this condition.
