Notes
In cream finish with a dark blue flash at the sides, cream hubs, this version of the Austin A105 Saloon was issued between 1958-59.
Interestingly, the Austin A105 was the first Dinky car to be made with window glazing.
This particular example has a virtually mint paint finish.
Such a pleasing sheen too!
Fine tread original tyres are well-shaped.
The baseplate has some tarnishing.
The deep yellow picture box is complete and strongly-coloured, with the correct colour spot at the end flaps. Quite a crisp feel. Light wear and penned numbering on an end flap.
