Notes
Issued between 1961-65, this sought-after French Dinky Citroen model is in close to mint condition with a gleaming* light blue and white* paint finish, blue metal wheels, suspension and window glazing. Looking as-new original tyres and a very bright baseplate. All metal parts, including axle ends, are shiny. Comes with the full complement of 30 little plastic milk crates which have been taped in place (probably at a later date).
Notably, this model is in completely original, honest condition.
You will find a few little marks to the paint finish (mostly at the vulnerable side rails). The cab, including the roof, is in virtually mint condition.
The attractive blue and yellow picture box is clean and fresh, with brght colours and no splits. Some shelf rubbing to the box base underside and a little area of surface loss at lid end. Minor wear besides. No graffiti.
A difficult model to find (particularly in all original condition) – this is a must for your collection.
