French Dinky 561 Citroen Van 'Glaces Gervais'. Near mint plus/boxed. With factory fresh condition box! Premium rare item from the Heart of England collection!
Notes
We are delighted to offer for sale this scarce and desirable French Dinky commercial Citroen model issued between 1963-66 under this numbering.
Attractively finished in bright mid-blue and white with the delicate ‘Glaces Gervais’ transfers complete on one side, virtually so on the other (small top corner edge rub, may be as-made). Sliding door at one side, so the transfer at this side is more prone to damage. Thankfully the lettering is complete, clean and undamaged on both sides.
Upon close scrutiny, one may see a few little marks to the paint finish at the front and rear bumpers. Couple of little mark besides.
Bright baseplate and axles, including the ends.
The factory fresh box is a real delight – it has never been folded in to a ‘proper’ box and is in pristine condition.
A remarkable find.
