Notes

Renumbered from Dinky 25v, this is the early issue in fawn with green tinplate shutters and no window glazing, red wheels.
From 1954 – when the model was re-numbered form 25v. Boxes for a short time (1954) bore both the older numbering (25v) and the new numbering 252.
Very appealing lustre. Shiny base and smooth original tyres look as-new.
The movement of the mechanism for tilting the back works well. Barely a mark to the paint finish.
