Notes
What a beauty! This classic Dinky car was issued between 1958-66. It has a pale blue finish with cream hubs. Day-one gleaming lustre shows minimal handling:
Under minute scrutiny, you will find a small mark on the rear screen edge (probably as-made), and a stray dot of factory silver near the original silver detailing at the rear. Lovely unmarked bumpers. Bright baseplate. We have not seen better!
The pictorial box is complete and very crisp with resistant end flaps, again showing minimal handling. Correct colour spot. Shopkeeper’s pencilled price. Some shelf grubbiness on the box underside and a little storage puncture.
