D234
Dinky 234 Ferrari Racing Car. Near mint plus/boxed. Scarce 'SHARK NOSE' version with YELLOW RIDGED METAL wheels. Transition issue.
Notes
This is the later “shark nose” version (yellow triangle at the front) – a difficult version to find with the yellow metal wheels . A transition issue since this later shark nose version is more usually found with plastic wheels.
Lovely glossy finish.
Bright baseplate with 234 stamped:
Fine sheen throughout and the racing driver is especially well covered in glossy original paint (so often found chipped!).
If one is looking to fault it, one could say that one of the racing numbers has thinner paint. Additional dab of paint at the rear tip where it has rubbed a little.
Still an impressive display piece!
The crisp, bright box lis complete. Some creasing mostly to the box underside.
Period penned price at an end flap.
A difficult Ferrari model to find.
