D231
Dinky 231 Maserati. Very, very near mint/boxed. Scarce issue with yellow plastic wheels. Late/export box. From the 1200 model Italian collection.
Notes
A classic Dinky racing car in all original condition made during Dinky’s heyday. Vibrant gleaming red and white finish, scarce late issue with yellow plastic wheels.
Peering closely, you may see a couple of negligible marks on the silver detail on one side, and a small tarnished area on the baseplate.
The correct later red and yellow card box is very nice indeed with bright colours and a crisp feel to the clean, rarely handled card. Lightly pencilled price on one end flap.
Lovely example – both model and box.
