Notes
In all-original condition, this delightful early racing car has a close to flawless yellow finish and blue with racing number 3 on both sides. Correct smooth black wheels and original smooth white tyres.
Very minor expansion of the metal now, so the wheels do not turn freely. Minimal fatigue to the metal.
This model represents so well the early days of Dinky when a model was sold simply from a shopkeeper’s trade box of six. A poignant reminder of simpler times.
