Notes

We are agents for a large lifetime Dinky collection. Some items were purchased directly from toy shops during the 1960s. He would travel to toyshops in the search for any old or out-of date stock, since scarcely anyone collected in those early days. Many were bought or swapped at early swapmeet/toyfairs. Quite a few of the unboxed models were taken straight from trade boxes. An interesting and varied collection that has been amassed over some 30 or so years.

A desirable Dinky car with a sleek grey-green finish, rare with shining spun wheels, shiny baseplate. Outstanding fresh condition throughout:

Difficult to fault this example – upon the most severe scrutiny, one could detect the faintest rub or two at a raised bodyline (but this is being extra-critical really!).
The red and yellow card box is complete and quite crisp. Correct colour spot at the end flap too. Minor age grubbiness and a little puncture at an end flap.

Do note that the box picture has the piece of cellophane packing on top – and there is no strip of surface removal to the box top which this picture might imply (camera light reflection on the cellophane piece).
