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 a distinctive Kingfisher Blue with an intact detachable black hood, and detachable cream folded hood. Original windscreen is complete too.
Early issue with separate wheels and tyres.
Little flake of paint low down on the driver[s side and a little mark or two besides.
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 decent – complete, clean and with a crisp feel to the card. Light wear. NO tears. Old tape in place ( probably to strengthen – these boxes are always fragile).
