Notes
Hard to find in any condition and certainly never in multiples – we are delighted to have one of the rarest South African Dinky models for sale! Unfinished models were exported to South Africa from 1966. They were sent as castings and painted and assembled there largely as a way of getting around the laws prohibiting export of finished goods to South Africa at this time. All housed in Dinky boxes with some Afrikaans text and of course most importantly the Arthur E.Harris print on the box.
South African versions of French Dinky are even harder to find and this French Dinky Chevrolet Corvair is in virtually mint condition in a complete, clean and bright Afrikaans box! Few tiny flecks of surface loss. Very light wear besides.
Silver-grey finish and a fine silver trim, ivory detailed interior and shiny spun wheels. Smooth white original tyres (one is a touch mis-shapen now). Shiny base has ‘Dinky Toys Chevrolet Corvair Made in France Meccano’.
A truly exceptional South African French Dinky!
