Notes

We are agents for a large lifetime Dinky collection. Some items were purchased directly from toy shops during the 1960s. He would travel to toyshops in the search for any old or out-of date stock, since scarcely anyone collected in those early days. Many were bought or swapped at early swapmeet/toyfairs. Quite a few of the unboxed models were taken straight from trade boxes. An interesting and varied collection that has been amassed over some 30 or so years.

Imagine our surprise, as we slid this model out of its box for the first time, to find this gleaming bright emerald green jewel of a car!
Such a difficult model to find in this colour – often missing from the most comprehensive Dinky collections! The first that we have ever offered for sale!
A delight to behold!

Matt baseplate:

In original finish throughout with a few chips at exposed bodylines etc.

The later pale yellow pictorial box is very clean, bright and has all its end flaps intact.

Minor handling wear only. Prices at both end flaps – apparently the shopkeeper could not sell it at 4/11, so reduced it to 3/11!
