This is a pleasing and complete example of a sought-after set from Dinky.

It contains:

1) Dinky 250 Mini Cooper. This car has jewelled headlights , detailed casting with opening doors and bonnet, tipping seats and “POLICE” signs on doors and roof. Whizzwheels. ‘K’ reg number plates front and rear. Silver base is tarnished now. In near mint plus condition.

2) Dinky 254 Police Patrol Range Rover. Another detailed cast model with silver headlights, opening doors and bonnet, tipping seats, detailed moulded windows, red interior.“POLICE” roof sign, fluorescent strip down both sides and running the length of the Range Rover. In very close to mint condition.

3) Dinky 287 Police Accident Unit. With early spun wheels. Detailed model with a sliding driver’s door (revealing driver seated behind the wheel), opening service door, jewelled headlights, “POLICE” roof sign and fluorescent orange label “POLICE” sign at both sides. Space at rear for stowing the Warning Signs and cones. All labels are complete and fine. In near mint plus condition.

Included are the two original card covers (correct) which fit over the Rover and the Accident Unit:

The inner card stand on which the models sit is in impressive condition – really fresh and bright with detailed colour scene to display the Police vehicles. Couple of tiny bollard slot tears.

Outer box is very bright, crisp and complete with no graffiti. Minor scuff and light wear.
