Notes
Sought-after models that are so difficult to find in good condition! Dinky dies were sold to the Indian Firm S. Kumar & Co. trading as Atamco. (1968-70). Often known as Indian-Dinky toys, the finish was poor in comparison.
This ‘E’ Type Jaguar model is finished in silver with an intact detachable black hood, and detachable cream folded hood. Original windscreen is complete too. Early issue ‘proper’ wheels and tyres. Occasional minor mark and a little rough cast (typical for these models).
An early issue so the Dinky lettering on the baseplate is still partially visible with just the letters ‘DIN’ blanked out (so ‘KY’ and ‘TOYS’ still visible), as well as the original lettering ‘Jaguar ’E’ Type from Dinky. No reference to the Indian manufacturer made on the base of this early Nicky Toys model.
The box (to Nicky toys standard) is very nice indeed – complete, clean and with a crisp feel to the card. One very small tear and very minor wear besides. . Small push-out panel is till intact on the side of the box.
