Dinky 152
Dinky 152 Austin Devon Saloon. Excellent plus/boxed. Scarce issue in suede green with fawn wheels. From The 25 Year Collection.
Notes
Issued between 1954-59 in various colour finishes, and this particular version is not an easy find! This Austin Devon model has a shining greyish-green or suede finish and fawn wheels. Smooth-running original tyres. Bright baseplate with large print and ‘DEVON’ cast into the underside of the roof.
Presents well, although do note that there is a notable scratch/chip on one side and a much smaller mark nearby – quite clearly this model need to be placed with the other side facing you in the cabinet!
Occasional tiny mark to the paint finish and a small area of rough casting on the roof.
The box is complete and vividly-coloured. Correct colour spot and a shopkeeper’s pencilled price. Crisp and brightly-coloured, looking fresh.
A scarce addition to your Dinky car collection!
