Notes
Bought by Monty on one of his U.S. trips from the original owner who purchased it from new in a store in Texas.
A sought-after French Dinky model, this Citroen Presidentielle model has a sleek two tone grey finish, detailed flock fawn interior with driver, bonnet mounted shield and delicate French flag.
Just the minor body line rub. Number plates are complete both front and rear. Bumpers are notably fine.
The *box is in fine and complete condition with a bright red card plinth (marks where the tyres have rested). Remains of the tape which kept the bubble lid in place. The delicate bubble casing has a tiny corner split. Minor wear.
Pictorial lift-off lid has strong colours on crisp sturdy card. Traces of the original tape used to keep the lid in situ. No corner splits or rubbing at edges – a very fresh example indeed. Complete with a neatly folded Instruction Leaflet, too.
Issued between 1970-71 – and a rare find, particularly in this condition.
