Notes
An unusual Dinky model issued between 1958-59, so a little later than the high line versions.
This classic Dinky car has a striking all original red and cream finish with a day-one lustre. Bright baseplate and fine tread original tyres run well. None of the expected marks at the bonnet detail or at the bumpers – this example presents very well indeed.
It is obvious that this model has spent most of the past 50 or so years tucked away in its box.
Not even a suggestion of a roof rub! If you are looking to fault it, you could note a couple of light box rubs at the raised details on one side (but these are negligible).
The box is bright and complete and has the correct colour spot at the end flaps. Little tape repair at a small end flap. Minor handling wear besides and light age grubbiness.
