Notes
Unfinished models were exported to South Africa from 1966. They were sent as castings and painted and assembled there, largely as a way of getting around the laws prohibiting export of finished goods to South Africa at this time. All housed in Dinky boxes with some Afrikaans text and of course most importantly the Arthur E.Harris print on the box.
Finished in original and attractive lightest blue with shiny spun wheels, silver trim, cream base, South African rivets, and well-shaped fine tread tyres. Pieces of luggage in the boot.
In very near mint, original condition:
Few minor marks.
The correct Arthur E. Harris Dinky box is complete and brightly-coloured. A little age/handling wear with a period price label on one end flap.
A very nice example for a South African Dinky box!
One of the rarest Dinky models.
For comparison only, please take a look at this model on the left when set alongside the rare sky blue English Dinky version (also available from this collection at time of writing):
