Notes
This collector wanted only the best examples in his collection ? always a discerning buyer of the finest examples he could find. After over 25 years, he has now decided to part with items from his own extensive collection.
This is one of them.
A scarce colour issue – this Dinky Jaguar has a shining cream finish with deeper cream wheels.
Bright base generally (couple of small tarnsihed spots) and the smooth original tyres run well.
This Jaguar model is a difficult find in cream but with deeper cream wheels – a very rare item! Usually found with fawn wheels.
A mere light rub or two at at side raised body lines. Minute scrutiny reveals two dabs of extra cream paint on the roof (probably factory) and a very small one on a front wing. .
The correct card box is complete and bright with a cream colour spot at the end flaps. Very minor age wear only. No tears. No graffiti. Period shop price label ’ F.A. O Schwarz, New York’. Very nice indeed!
An exceptionally scarce Dinky Jaguar variation.
