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 He would travel to toyshops in the search for any old or out-of date stock, since scarcely anyone collected in those early days.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.

Issued between 1961-67 with a light sky blue finish, yellow interior, shining plated fittings, shaped spun wheels with suspension. Matt black baseplate. Just about shop-fresh with a notably intact bonnet emblem!

One or two small marks only – this example is the slightest fraction away from mint.

The yellow picture box is complete and bright, although there is some crumpling/ruffling at end flaps, and a couple of creases. Shopkeeper’s faintly pencilled price of 5/11 is just about visible at an end flap.
