D176
Dinky 176 Austin A105 Saloon. Very, very near mint/ boxed. Cream with blue flash. From the Italian collection.
Notes
In cream finish with a dark blue flash at the sides, cream hubs, this version was issued between 1958-59.
Interestingly, the Austin A105 was the first Dinky car to be made with window glazing!
Obviously rarely handled, this car has retained all of its original sheen and vibrancy with none of the usual marks at body lines. Not even a trace of a rub on the roof! Couple of little marks on a rear bumper over-rider.
The yellow picture box is crisp, complete and vividly-coloured. 3 small areas of surface loss on one side. Correct colour spot at the end flaps. No graffiti. Very minor age grubbiness.
