Notes
As sold through Collectoys Auction House France in 2006 – this model is most likely a period promotional version given out to loyal customers and so the additional transfers have been added, namely ‘Ed. DELAY YVONAND-YVERDON’ and ‘Radio Television’.
We have only seen this one – but there may be just a very short run.
Issued between 1964-67, we are pleased to offer this elusive French Dinky Citroen model for sale – especially considering its so close to mint condition, complete with the original roof sign (with complete and notably intact lugs lugs which secure it to the roof).
This fine Citroen van has a vibrant deep yellow and silver finish, red radiator detail and red wheels.
Peep through the windows or lift up the opening rear and side doors to see the nicely detailed interior! Note that all of the little plastic lugs which secure the sign on the roof are in place – rare to find like this.
The distinctive transfer is complete.
Couple of little marks to the paint at the rear.
The attractive pictorial card box is very bright and clean. Crisp feel. None of the usual rubbing or loss of colour vibrancy. Tiniest strip of surface loss. With informative slip:
