Notes
A very close to mint example of this desirable Dinky car which is in all original gleaming bright condition. Wonderful original finish in this scarce shade of distinctive plum-More often found in the bright cerise and green. Obviously barely handled, this model has the occasional minute body rub at side raised body lines. Couple of tiny marks at a roof side edge.
None of the usual marking at front or rear bumpers.
Presents well.
The baseplate has minor tarnishing. Well-shaped original treaded tyres.
The box is complete and bright, with the correct colour spot. Period price at an end flap and a couple of end flap edge tears. Some age/handling wear includes a tiny end flap tear.
