FD1425E

Notes

An exciting French Dinky racing model with a detailed original finish in mid-blue with racing number 5 labels.

Looks unused, although closest scrutiny reveals a typical small sweep of (factory) paint partially covering a very small mark to the paint finish on one side. Perfect paint match (understandably) so difficult to notice.
So rare in this early box presentation! Slimmest of card boxes also contains the unapplied transfers, with protective sheet, small Instruction Slip and a larger picture leaflet.

Later issues would also contain a traffic sign, although it is quite obvious that this early issue would never have had one – it is not mentioned on the box and apart from this there simply would be no room for it in the box! Snuggest fit, typical of French Dinky card boxes.
This rare box is clean, bright and fresh looking with no tears or graffiti. Virtually pristine in fact if it were not for a couple of small, light creases.
An exceptional piece from this most avid of collectors.
