Dinky Toys 351 SHADO 2 UFO Interceptor

Notes

Later issues come to the market-place in the bubble pack style of packaging and then the window box but surely, this 1st issue in the all-card box with lots of colourful illustrations, has to be the best!
The most sought-after 1st issue is presented in the original, bright ‘S.H.A.D.O.’ pictorial card box with a pristine decorative inner card stand backdrop and additional card piece.

Note this is the version with the ‘Warning notice’ printed on reverse of plinth.

Earliest issues did not have the Warning notice printed.

Model is finished in metallic green with intact orange plastic legs, bright chrome and gold parts. With clear cockpit glass and a chrome interior.
In beautiful and unused virtually mint condition – one of the best we have ever seen.
Comes complete with the white and orange firing rocket.

The colourfully illustrated card box presents well with colourful illustrations. Crisp and clean. A tiny area of surface loss to one corner.
Comes with the pristine model specific leaflet and and with this original buff card packing piece:
