Dinky Toys 281 Luxury Coach
Luxury Coach by Dinky Toys, No. 281. Mid blue, cream flash, lemon wheels. Very near mint/boxed. Scarce. From The Off-shore Collection.
Notes
Issued between 1954-60 in various colour finishes, this being one of the more difficult versions to find – and probably the most attractive!
Shiny base. Well-shaped original smooth tyres.
Occasional minor mark to the paint finish and a little (probably factory assembly) marking around a wheel.
The box is complete and brightly-coloured, with the correct colour spot on the end flaps.
Minor age/handling wear includes grubbiness.
