Dinky Toys 261 Ford Taunus 'POLIZEI'
Ford Taunus 'POLIZEI' by Dinky Toys, No. 261. Rare German promotional issue with WHITE REAR DOORS . Very near mint/unboxed. Very scarce model! Starting bid £200. Please note that QDT apply 12.5% buyer's commission.
Notes
This Taunus POLIZEI model was made for export to the German market only between 1967-68.
This very close to mint example has a white and deepest green finish with complete ‘POLIZEI’ labels on both doors and boot. Blue roof light. Intact original aerial. Shiny wheels with white surround. Well-shaped original tyres. Bright chrome at bumpers, clean and complete number plates, front and rear.
Key differences between this model and others we have seen over the years:
1) Rear doors are white not dark green
2) Aerial is silver-grey not chromed
3) Black screwed base not rivetted
Please take a look at this (closest) example pictured in ‘The Great Book of Dinky’ on page 111:
An intriguing example.
