FD506
French Dinky 506 Aston Martin DB3 Sport. Very near mint/boxed. From the Italian collection.
Notes
From the English casting of Dinky 104, the French Dinky factory made this version with concave metal wheels, a three-spoke cream steering wheel and of course, ‘Made in France’ on the base. In close to mint condition, with a vivid mid-green finish, and racing number ‘13’ (tiny age wear to one transfer). A few barely visible marks to the all original green finish and a small area of rough casting on a front wing. A little mark of white paint on the base ( may be possible to remove).
Issued during 1960-61.
The deep yellow pictorial box is complete, clean and bright with no tears or graffiti. Crisp and fresh-looking. Small sticker residue on one face.
