D234
Dinky 234 Ferrari Racing Car. Very, very near mint/boxed. Scarce 'shark nose' version with blue ridged metal wheels. A wonderful example from a large, stunning diverse collection with many items in old shop stock condition.
Notes
A shop-fresh example.
This is the later “shark nose” version (yellow triangle at the front) – and a most unusual combination with blue ridged wheels!
An outstanding example of this rare variation in all original, completely unused condition.
Fine sheen throughout. One dot to the driver’s head and a couple of tiny dots besides.
The lighter yellow shop-fresh box has such a crisp, as-new feel! Period price (one almost erased) at an end flap. Looks as if it has been carefully prised opened a couple of times – ever.
Surely one of the best surviving examples.
