FD24ZT/542
French Dinky 24ZT/542 Simca "Ariane" Taxi. Very near mint/boxed. Early issue with convex wheels. With packing piece. From The Berkshire Collection.
Notes
Issued between 1959-62, this Simca model has an original bright red and black finish, complete with meter, and taxi sign on the roof. Early issue with bright convex wheels and a shiny black baseplate. Silver trim. Original tyres ( with no flat spots!). 1:43 scale.
Difficult to fault – just the occasional little mark at bumpers and a couple of mere dots on one side. Nice to see that the red roof is unrubbed and that there is no chipping at the edges either.
The dual-numbered box is complete and really crisp. Strong colours. Comes complete with the card packing piece too.
Very nice!
