FD549
French Dinky 549 Coupe Borgward "Isabella". Very near mint/boxed. Silver issue. From a beautiful, single-owner collection, some 25 years in the making.
Notes
This collector wanted only the best examples in his collection ? always a discerning buyer of the finest examples he could find. After over 25 years, he has now decided to part with items from his own extensive collection.
This is one of them.
A fine example from the French Dinky factory in 1:43 scale with a sleek silver finish, suspension on bright concave wheels. Some minor casting roughness at the driver’s door, but as-made.
A really eye-catching example made for just one year (1961).
Bright base – note the incomplete lettering of the ‘E’ and ‘L’ of Isabella. Bright concave wheels and smooth original, well-shaped tyres.
Occasional very minor mark to the paint finish, visible under closest scrutiny.
The bright, clean and complete pictorial box is intact with a crisp feel. Tiny wear only and a penned number at an end flap. Period shop price label at another end flap.
