Notes
This collection represents a lifelong deep appreciation of Dinky Toys, Britains models, Minic models and more primarily from the 1940’s & 50’s. All British made diecast and tinplate models. Proceeds going to charities close to his heart.

Presents nicely. With working clockwork motor.
Bright chrome parts. Shiny wheels and well-shaped smooth black tyres.
Expected marking at the rear doors. Minor nicks to the transfers.
Complete colourfully illustrated end flap box has a very small end flap tear. A little grubbiness with light wear besides. Nice to see the faint ‘BR’ stamp on an end flap.
