D129
Dinky 129 M.G. Midget Sports. Very, very near mint/boxed (little wear/writing). Scarce U.S. issue. Cream version. Another gem from the large private European collection we are handling.
Notes
Dinky 108 was issued briefly as an U.S. export model in both red and cream.
This cream version is in splendid, all original, very close to pristine condition, with attractive, lustrous dark plum-red seats, lighter red ridged wheels, intact original windscreen, correct without driver or racing numbers.
Bright baseplate.
Correct that the number 108 is printed on the base since a special baseplate for the U.S. issue was never made.
Few raised casting dots and a few little tiny dots to the paint finish besides. A real beauty!
The box is complete and brightly-coloured. No repairs or punctures. Little edge rubbing. Penned numbering on one box face and at both end flaps. Correct colour spot. End flap tear. Rubbing to the Dinky number 129 on the box faces.
