FD565
French Dinky 565 Renault Estafette Camping. Very near mint/boxed. Scarce. Lovely nostalgic piece from the Italian collection!
Notes
First issued during 1965, this Renault Estafette Campervan is a delight! Finished in sky blue with a cream plastic moulded roof with shining silver trim , bright red interior, jewelled lights. Open the delicate hinged rear doors and peek inside. Detailed cream interior, complete with ‘jazzy’ flowered seating!
In close to perfect condition, this model has a couple of very minor box rubs at two wheel arches and a little mark above a headlight (probably as-made).
The detailed picture box continues the nostalgic theme with an idyllic holiday scene portrayed. A little sunfading to one end flap and a small area of surface removal at an end flap has been disguised with a similar colour daub of yellow paint. Comes complete with the little serrated tear-off tag. Couple of little end flap tears.
A charming French Dinky model – and not an easy find!
