D162
Dinky 162 Ford Zephyr Saloon. Scarce lime green and cream version. Near mint/boxed. From a collection in Berlin.
Notes
A scarce variation, this Mk.1 Zephyr is finished in lime green and cream, with fawn hubs. Rear number plate detail and rear lights (all correct and original). 1956-60.(Usual colour is deeper green and cream and is distinctly different). Light peppering of tiny dots/ tiny rubs to the raised body lines at the sides
Mottled baseplate. Original treaded tyres run well.
The box is complete and bright with the correct colour spot at the end flaps. Looking rather worn now with minor ruffling/rubbing and creasing. Faintly pencilled period price at an end flap. Little pencilled number on the top surface.
