FD24XT
French Dinky 24XT Ford Vedette 'TAXI'. Very near mint/not individually boxed. From The Heart of England Collection.
Notes
Issued between 1956-59, this Ford Vedette Taxi model has a really shining sleek black and cream finish with bright convex wheels.
Looks carefully handled and stored. Little paint bubble on the roof. Occasional tiny mark besides.
Notably the red ‘TAXI’ lettering is unrubbed and that includes the top of the sign!
Shiny baseplate and smooth original tyres run well.
This model would have been sold from a shopkeeper’s trade box.
