Notes

Issued between 1961-65, this sought-after French Dinky Citroen model is in close to mint condition with a fresh light blue and white paint finish, blue metal wheels, suspension and window glazing. Looking as-new original tyres and a shiny baseplate (a little rubbing). All metal parts, including axle ends, are shiny. Comes with the full complement of 30 little plastic milk crates.

Note the remnants of the original tape which kept the crates in situ.
So prone to chipping this model has fared better than most with just a few little marks. No touch-ins. Note the two black rectangular sections at the rear have little extra casting (factory over-sight).
The attractive blue and yellow picture box is clean and bright. Lid has a split seam and the underside of the box base has shelf wear as well as two split seams. Light wear besides.
