FD542
French Dinky 542 Simca "Ariane" Taxi. Very near mint/boxed (little repair).
Notes
Issued between 1959-62, this Simca model has an attractive red and black finish, complete with meter, and taxi sign on the roof. Bright concave wheels and a shiny black baseplate, clean white original smooth tyres. Fine silver detailing at the bumpers, bonnet and lights (all original). 1:43 scale.
Few little minor marks away from mint. Nice to see that the red roof is unrubbed!
The dual-numbered box is clean and bright. Crisp feel.
Minor wear and a little repaired storage tear on one non-picture side. Crease. No graffiti.
