FD1410
French Dinky 1410 Moskvitch. Dark Red. Very near mint/boxed. With little Instruction Slip. From a large, stunning diverse collection with many items in old shop stock condition.
Notes
From one of the largest, private collections we have ever seen, with many items bought new at the time and stored away until now. Taken as a whole, the collection provides an exciting, kaleidoscopic snapshot of popular diecast toys issued during the 1960?s -1970?s.
First issued during 1968, this example has a vibrant deep red finish, ivory interior, very shiny plated concave wheels and original as-new ‘Dunlop’ tyres. Opening bonnet reveals a dark green detailed engine.
Just a couple of very minor marks. Comes complete with the little Instruction Slip for bonnet opening. Note the French Dinky number 1415 printed, but this slip is equally relevant to this model and we have seen it included with the Moskvitch in the past. We surmise that Dinky did not see the need to re-number the Slip!
The colourful card box is very clean and strongly-coloured. Looking barely handled, although the serrated tag is no longer present. Little storage crease.
