D254
Dinky 254 Austin Taxi. Near mint plus/boxed. Black with spun wheels, RAF blue interior and base. 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.
This Austin Taxi model has a gleaming, sleek, black finish, R.A.F. blue interior and base, shaped spun shining wheels. As-new, original, supple treaded tyres. Driver, steering wheel. “Taxi” lettering is complete; really minor rubbing to the top of the tax sign (nearly always the case, and often much worse than this!). Few mere dots besides. Lovely original silver detailing of the radiator, meter and lights.
The lighter yellow card box is very bright, fresh and clean, complete with all end flaps. Crisp barely handled feel to the card. Tiny wear only.
Very nice!
