N186
Nicky/Dinky Toys 186 Mercedes-Benz 220 SE. Deep red version. Very, very near mint/boxed. Scarce. From The Compton Collection.
Notes
Sought after models that are so difficult to find in good condition! Dinky dies were sold to the Indian Firm S. Kumar & Co. trading as Atamco. (1968-70). Often known as Indian-Dinky toys, the finish was poor in comparison.
A virtually mint example finished in a rich deep red with original silver details, off-white interior,steering wheel, and intact window glazing. Silver and black plastic one-piece tyres/wheels.
Shiny black base.
The colourful correct box (ATAMCO P LTD. Calcutta) has some of the usual wear (for this range). Few flecks of surface loss and a couple of tears.
