Notes

This French Dinky racer has a deep red lustrous original finish, white driver and harder to find with racing number 33 (complete). Later issue with cross-hatching on the grille. Bright hubs with notably none of the usual tarnishing to the wheels. Bright baseplate.

Later issue with cross-hatching on the grille. Very bright hubs. Bright baseplate. A few of the usual little marks at the rear point and an extra well-applied lick of paint on the driver’s head (since these nearly always get chipped!) and a small touch-in on his arm. Light stripe of blue paint at the rear. Little retouching on the front edge of the car.
The picture box is bright and complete although one end flap has been re-attached now. Strip of surface loss at this end flap. Crisp and clean nevertheless. Trace of old sellotape and a penned price on one surface along with a shop stamp.
