Notes
We are delighted to offer for sale this scarce and desirable French Dinky commercial Citroen model issued between 1963-66 under this numbering.
In exceptional, very near mint condition.
Attractively finished in bright mid-blue and white with the delicate ‘Glaces Gervais’ transfers complete on both sides. Sliding door at one side.
Upon close scrutiny and intense magnification, we can see an extra touch of well-matched paint at a wheel arch where the paint was a little thin and another little dab at a rear over-rider. Virtually undetectable.
Extremely bright and fresh baseplate and axles, including the ends.
The colourfully illustrated pictorial box is really clean, fresh and bright, with all end flaps intact. Small rub where a price was erased at some time on a non-picture surface. Tiny wear besides. Original shop price stamp on the inside of one large end flap ‘La Provence’ in Marseilles!
A lovely French Dinky Advertising Van, and one of the finest we have seen.
