Dinky Toys 230 Talbot Lago Racing Car
Talbot Lago Racing Car by Dinky Toys, No. 230. Blue with blue cast wheels issue. Very near mint/boxed. From The Ground Crew Collection.
Notes
A sought-after classic Dinky racing car with a fresh shining light blue finish, silver trim and bright baseplate, blue cast wheels. Complete racing numbers on one side, couple of tiny nibbles to the other. Looks unused, not even a mark to the driver’s head.
Shiny base and the original tyres are well-shaped.
Little mark to the rear point – and note the stray dab of factory white paint on the underside rim and a tiny stray dot on the bonnet. A little casting flaw visible to the inside edge of one of the wheels.
The pale yellow pictorial box is complete and crisp, with crisp, firm end flaps. Minor age wear and a period price at an end flap.
