FD555

Notes

An impressive French Dinky car in deep red with a pale blue interior, driver in a deep blue coloured suit with a bright red tie (other versions exist), ivory coloured steering wheel, smooth white tyres (faint surface splits) on shiny concave wheels. Shiny baseplate (few light scratches) and clear windscreen (note the factory assembly hairline split to the driver’s side window).

A few mere pin pricks to the paint finish.
The box is complete, brightly-coloured, intact with no tears. Crisp. ‘In the print’ speckling. Early issue in deep yellow which correctly does not have a serrated tear-off strip at an end flap (as does the later issue). No graffiti. No tears.
