FD506
French Dinky 506 Aston Martin DB3 Sport. Excellent plus/boxed.
Notes
From the English casting of Dinky 104, the French Dinky factory made this version with concave metal wheels, a three-spoke cream steering wheel and of course, ‘Made in France’ on the base. In original condition, with a vivid mid-green finish, and complete racing number ‘17’ transfers on both doors and bonnet. Metal driver.
Issued during 1960-61.
Few little edge marks at the rear and some light rubbing to the paint finish at the raised body lines. Light ‘speckling’ to the finish on the driver and steering wheel. Occasional minor mark besides.
The yellow card looks fresh and bright. Crisp feel to the card. No tears or graffiti. Resistant end flaps show that this box has been opened rarely. Minor age wear only.
