Dinky Toys 129 M.G. Midget Sports
M.G. Midget Sports by Dinky Toys, No. 129. Near mint plus/unboxed. Rare U.S. issue. Cream version. From The West Midlands Collection.
Price: £275.00
Notes
Dinky 108 was issued briefly as an U.S. export model in both red and cream.
This cream version (an even more difficult find than the red version, in our experience) has attractive, lustrous dark plum-red seats, lighter red ridged wheels, intact original windscreen, correct without driver or racing numbers. Correct too with a formed hole for driver.
Bright baseplate.
Correct that the number 108 is printed on the base since a special baseplate for the U.S. issue was never made.
A few small retouches.
