Dinky 176
Dinky 176 Austin A105 Saloon. Very near mint/boxed. Cream with blue flash. From The West Midlands Collection.
Notes
In cream finish with a dark blue flash at the sides, cream hubs, this version was issued between 1958-59.
Interestingly, the Austin A105 was the first Dinky car to be made with window glazing!
This particular example is in very close to mint condition.
Pleasing sheen to the paint finish.
Fine tread ‘M’ stamped original tyres.
Little chip at a rear light and a small as-made casting mark on a rear wing.
The deep yellow picture box is complete and strongly-coloured, with the correct colour spot at the end flaps. Quite a crisp feel. Light grubbiness/wear.
