FD561
French Dinky 561 Citroen H Van 'CIBIE'. Very near mint/boxed. CONVEX WHEELS issue. A delightful French Dinky Van from The French Dinky section of The Reference Collection.
Notes
An exquisite French Dinky Citroen model which makes a beautiful display piece, and in this close to mint condition, quite irresistible! Looking more like a period work of art than a Dinky Toy!
This Citroen H Van has a distinctive peacock blue paint finish and complete transfers on both sides. Gleaming silver trim. Convex wheels. Well-shaped original tyres.
Shiny base and axles (including the ends).

Few negligible marks to the paint finish only.
The picture box is bright and complete with the correct over-stuck label at an end flap. Minor age grubbiness and light handling wear besides. No tears. No graffiti. Crisp feel to the card.
An eye-catching Dinky van made at the French factory between 1961-63.
