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 really very close to mint example finished in an attractive mid-blue with original silver details, red interior, driver, steering wheel, and intact screen. Silver and black plastic one-piece tyres/wheels.
A very pleasing MGB model.
One tiny rub away from mint! Shiny black base.
The colourful correct box (ATAMCO P LTD. Calcutta) is an exceptional example (for this range). Colourful, clean and crisp – and free of the usual ‘white edges’ or heavy tears that plague these comparatively flimsy boxes. Very minor wear only.
