Dinky Toys 175 Hillman Minx Saloon
Hillman Minx Saloon by Dinky Toys, No. 175. Very near mint/boxed. Tan and green issue. Early issue WITHOUT THE GREEN STRIP BENEATH THE WINDSCREEN. Nice box! From The Reference Collection. Starting bid £150. Please note that QDT apply 12.5% buyer's commission.
Notes
Issued between 1958-61, this classic Dinky car finished in tan and green, with green ridged wheels was issued at the start of the production run (without the green strip beneath the windscreen – late issues, including those with spun wheels, had a green strip immediately below the windscreen).
In all original, fresh condition, this Minx presents well:
Shiny base and smooth-running original treaded tyres.
A little minor mark on the roof and the occasional small mark besides.
Very crisp and vividly-coloured box has the correct colour spot at the end flaps. Clean and very fresh, showing minimal handling.
