D601
Dinky 601 Austin Paramoke. Early issue in card box. Complete with parachute and Instruction Leaflet. Very near mint/boxed. From The Netherlands Collection.
Notes
Early issue first made during 1966 with spun wheels and presented in the pictorial card box (later issues were bubble-packed).
Model has a virtually mint original paint finish and comes with a spare wheel and steering wheel (early issues never had a driver). Obviously unused , this model has a (probably factory assembly) scuff at the spare wheel fixing.
Tin windscreen can be raised and lowered (no corrosion). The grey plastic detachable top is complete with all delicate parts intact.
The green plastic assault platform is present, complete and intact, too. This Mini Moke does not appear to have been ever removed from its platform.
Fortunately, this example comes complete with both the parachute and Instruction Leaflet.
The colourfully illustrated pictorial card box is is complete, if a touch worn now, with a rub on one picture face, and a little tear at an end flap seam. Often found with heavy wear since it can be quite a task to fit all of the contents inside! This box has fared better than many we have seen!
