FD517
French Dinky 517 Renault R8. Light bright blue version. Very, very near mint/boxed. From the Italian collection.
Notes
Issued between 1962-64 in 1:43 scale. An eye-catching example in vibrant light blue with a vivid red interior, white steering wheel. Concave wheels and original finely ridged tyres.
Usual little tiny (assembly) marks on the inside rim of the wheel arches ( you have to really search to find these).
The box is clean and brightly-coloured with all end flaps intact. No graffiti. A pinpoint puncture on one non-picture side. Minor age wear besides.
