D101
Dinky 101 Sunbeam Alpine Sports. Maroon with SPUN WHEELS. Very rare variation. Near mint/boxed. From The BST Collection.
Notes
Exceptionally difficult to find, this maroon Sunbeam model with a cream interior has spun wheels. Very rare to come to the market place.
Shiny baseplate has light marking. Original treaded tyres are well-shaped.
Hard to find a mark to the paint finish but closest scrutiny under magnification finds that there is a small area of rough casting at the front wing passenger side with a retouch and a smaller retouch nearby.
The box is complete and bright with the correct colour spot. Minor storage grubbiness and light edge wear. Light edge crumple Shopkeeper’s period price is pencilled at an end flap.
