FD524
French Dinky 24ZT/542 Simca "Ariane" Taxi. Very near mint/boxed. Early issue with convex wheels. Exceptional shop-fresh box from the Heart of England collection!
Notes
Issued between 1959-61, this early issue Simca model has a shining bright red and black finish, complete with meter, and taxi sign on the roof. Bright convex wheels and a shiny black baseplate, white original smooth tyres. Fine original silver detailing at the bumpers. 1:43 scale.
Just a little of the usual rubbing (from the box) at the over-riders. Hard to fault otherwise.
Superb shop-fresh box!
