Notes
A particularly difficult find in this distinctive shade of lime green. Usually found in bright mid-green. Fine lustrous sheen to this classic Dinky model. Red rollers, familiar fawn driver. Later issue so note that this model does not have the red paint detail at the front.
Very close to mint.
Bright baseplate.
A few minor marks to the paint finish.
For comparison only, please do take a look at this model on the left alongside another two versions also from this collection:
The harder to find lighter yellow card box with side panel pictures is complete and bright, showing light storage grubbiness. Nice to see the card over-wrap which protects the model inside the box and even the Dinky Quality Control Tag!
Very nice.
