Notes
Such an attractive Ford Fairlane model finished in this eye-catching French Blue with correct clean white tyres. Such a rare find too!
Correct that the baseplate is standard for this model, as these were assembled in South Africa using English components (1963).
Just a very few tiny marks to the paint finish.
Few Dinky collections can boast one of these, correctly presented in the Arthur E. Harris South African box!
A little age/handling wear as well as a couple of end flap seam repairs. Small area of surface loss on an end flap.
One of the rarest Dinky toys you can buy!
