FD566
French Dinky 566 Citroen H Currus Van 'POLICE'. Near mint (no roof light)/boxed. With Instruction Leaflet. Wonderfully fresh, crisp original box! 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.
A scarce French Dinky Citroen Police model item in all original condition with a striking deep navy blue and white finish and a ‘POLICE’ sign on the roof.
No roof light now.
Occasional little mark to the paint finish which barely detracts, but note that there is a small scratch on the inside surface of the striped semi-transparent glass on one side.
The pictorial box is certainly one of the best we have seen. Really crisp, fresh and clean with no tears, no graffiti. Lacks the serrated end flap tag.
Comes complete with the Instruction Leaflet.
