Notes
An impressive French Dinky car in deep red, scarce with a fawn interior, driver in a dark coloured suit (other versions exist), white steering wheel, smooth white tyres (couple of minor flat spots) on shiny concave wheels. Bright baseplate and clear windscreen.
1st issue.
Hard to fault, this model has a barely visible not full thickness hairline scratch at the bonnet front edge (really hard to see), and a mere micro-dot besides.
The box is complete, brightly coloured and has “speckled” print. Early issue in deep yellow which correctly does not have a serrated tear-off strip at an end flap (as does the later issue). A little handling wear/ruffling at end flaps. No graffiti.
