Dinky Toys 23K 230 Talbot-Lago Racing Car
Talbot-Lago Racing Car by Dinky Toys, No. 23K 230. Blue with blue cast wheels issue. Very near mint/boxed. From 1954 with 23K on the base and dual-numbered box.
Notes
A sought-after classic Dinky racing car with a fresh shining light blue finish, silver trim and bright baseplate, blue cast wheels. Fine, original grey tyres. Complete racing numbers on both sides (little as-made ‘smudge’ to both).
Shiny base.
Mere dot or two to the paint finish.
The deep yellow dual-numbered pictorial box is complete and marks the change to the later numbering (230) which occurred in 1954. Note this model has 23K on the base, too, whereas later it would be 230. Light box wear/grubbiness. No punctures! Internal end flap tear.
