Notes
An exceptional find. It is not often that rare versions of Dinky Toys from the mid-late 1950’s are brought to the attention of the market -place. But here is such an example.
This version of Dinky 111 Triumph TR2 in salmon pink has the standard blue interior but with the red cast wheels,usually reserved for the turquoise version. Shiny base. Treaded tyres.
A factory oversight – or part of a very small run?
It is usually the turquoise TR2 which has a red interior and red wheels, so we surmise this version in pink with red interior and wheels is part of a very small run.
Released toward the end of production, this is a late issue with no number on the base, treaded tyres and silvered rear numberplate. Rear light details.
THis is a virtually perfect example in salmon pink (competition) finish, with complete racing number 29 transfers throughout. White driver. Intact windscreen.
The box is vividly-coloured and complete with the correct colour spot. A little age/handling wear.
