FD597
French Dinky 597 Coventry Climax Fork Lift Truck. Near mint plus/boxed, with upper and lower card packing pieces. Outstanding box! From The Reference Collection.
Notes
An extremely fresh and bright example complete with the familiar fawn driver figure (not even a chip on his head).
Very few little marks, mostly at the rear; tempted to say ‘as-made’ since the model looks so fresh, unused and vibrant, as if it has barely been out of its box.
The lift-off lid card box has day-one fresh and bright colours. Certainly no rips or seam tears/repairs. An outstanding example.
Comes complete with the upper and lower card packing insert.
Quality Control Stamp on the inside of the lid.
Hard to find this good!
