DInky Toys 237 Mercedes Benz Racing Car
Mercedes-Benz Racing Car by Dinky Toys, No. 237. Matt white and spun hubs. Very near mint/boxed. From The 25 Year Collection in California.
Notes
Issued between 1960-62, this is a sought-after variation of this popular Dinky racer: matt white finish, spun wheels, blue metal driver, shiny baseplate.
Presents very well and looks great on display. Couple of tiny marks on this most unforgiving of paint finishes.
For comparison only, please take a look at this version (in the foreground) when set alongside the other example currently for sale at time of writing which has a cream finish.
The lighter yellow, picture box has vivid colours on intact, crisp card. Light wear and a little foxing/grubbiness mostly on the top surface. Remains of a paper label on the top surface. Little period writing nearby.
