FD542
French Dinky 24ZT/542 Simca "Ariane" Taxi. Near mint/boxed. Concave wheels issue. Superb box!
Notes
Issued between 1959-62, this Simca model has an attractive red and black finish, complete with meter, and taxi sign on the roof. Bright concave wheels and a shiny black baseplate, clean white original smooth tyres. Fine silver detailing at the bumpers, bonnet and lights (all original). 1:43 scale.
There is a little speckled marking to the side bodylines. Nice to see that the red roof is unrubbed!
The dual-numbered box is very crisp, fresh and bright.
Barely any wear at all, close to shop-fresh, in fact.
