D168
Dinky 168 Singer Gazelle. Green & grey issue. Near mint plus/boxed. 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 classic Dinky saloon car with a fine green and grey finish, bright, shaped spun wheels and baseplate. As-new treaded tyres. Issued between 1959-63.
The model is in close to mint condition with just a couple of the tiniest dots on the roof and the occasional tiny dot besides. Two little areas at a rear wing where the paint finish is a little thin.
Lovely lustre and none of the usual body line rubbing.
The deep yellow picture box is complete and bright, with the correct colour spot at the end flaps. Minor handling/age wear. The initial ‘F’ in pen at an end flap and a faint shop stamp at another end flap. Minor grubby mark.
