Notes
An impressive French Dinky car in deep red with a pale blue interior, driver in a dark coloured suit (other versions exist), ivory coloured steering wheel, smooth white tyres on shiny concave wheels. Bright baseplate and clear windscreen.
Tempted to call this one mint, since it has just the merest rub or two to the bumpers, and a stray couple of dots of (factory) silver on a rear wing edge.
The box is extremely crisp, fresh and brightly-coloured. Early issue in deep yellow which correctly does not have a serrated tear-off strip at an end flap (as does the later issue).
