Dinky Toys 234 Ferrari Racing Car
Ferrari Racing Car by Dinky Toys, No. 234. Very near mint/boxed. Scarce - to find in deep yellow 2nd issue 234 box, with this version pictured. From The Cologne Collection.
Notes
More often found in the earlier 23H style box or indeed the 234 box with number in black oval. It seems that the ‘rarer’ versions of this model appear in this box style more often.
A pleasing example finished in all original rich deep blue with deep yellow front section and compete racing number 5 on both sides. Matching deep yellow cast wheels and original grey tyres (well-shaped if rather age-darkened now). Pleasing original paint finish is strongly-coloured. Bright baseplate with 23H stamped.
Few minor marks to the paint finish.
Deeply-coloured and complete 234 picture box has light age/handling wear only.
