French Dinky Toys 561 Citroen H Van 'CIBIE'

Price: £195.00
Notes
An exquisite French Dinky Citroen model which makes a beautiful display piece, and in this fine condition, quite irresistible! Looking more like a period work of art than a Dinky Toy!
This Citroen H Van has a distinctive peacock blue paint finish and complete, vibrant transfers on both sides. Convex wheels (a more difficult find). Smooth original tyres run well.
Shiny baseplate. Occasional negligible mark to the paint finish.
The picture box is complete, bright and clean. Note this is the version with ‘CIBIE’ printed at an end flap (slightly earlier version would have an over-stuck label).
Part-puncture is easily overlooked. Light wear.
An eye-catching Dinky van made at the French factory between 1961-63.
