Notes
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.
Number plates are complete both front and rear.
If you want to fault it, you could note a tiny mark on a rear door and a little light chrome rubbing at the rear lights area.
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 and a very small area of surface loss at this site. The delicate bubble casing has an amber hue now but no splits or punctures.
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.
A rare find – issued between 1970-71.
