French Dinky 560
French Dinky 560 Citroen 2CV Postal Service Van. Near mint plus/boxed. From The 25 Year Collection.
Notes
A fine and unused example, first issued during 1963. Lustrous deep orange-yellow original paint finish, bright original silver radiator and lights, complete ‘swallow’ emblems on both front doors, deep blue side stripes.
Bright baseplate, too. As-new, original, fine tread tyres.
Few minor marks on one side where the casting is a little rough and a small part-thickness chip below the windscreen. Couple of minor marks besides.
The colourfully illustrated card box looks very fresh and crisp. Very minor wear only. This version is contained within a ‘standard’ end flap-style box which would not have included a serrated tab.
