D181
Dinky 181 Volkswagen. Sky blue version. Spun hubs and scarce chrome base. Very near mint/boxed (repair but complete). From a large private European Collection.
Notes
A fine gleaming example of this model which has a distinctive sky blue finish with bright spun wheels, scarce with a chrome base and black treaded tyres.
In original, barely handled condition with barely a mark. Note the trace of factory red paint on one side (fine details like rear lights etc were hand applied at the factory).
The correct paler yellow picture box is really clean and vividly-coloured. Very fresh. The tuck-in part of one large end flap has been re-inforced with tape. Crease and light handling wear besides.
A very nice example indeed.
