Notes
One of the rarest Dinky models we have ever offered for sale. This is a fascinating piece of Dinky and Ford history intertwined! Dinky sent a batch of Ford Anglia models uniquely finished in this very pale green with a red interior to celebrate the first Ford made in Liverpool, 8th March 1963. Some were given out to visitors to the plant, others were sent via Royal Mail. This particular model was sent to a Liverpool address and comes complete with its outer mailing box!
The model itself is attractively finished in this delicate pale green colour, although there are a couple of graze marks at the body line on one side and at the rear wing tip. A couple of small marks besides. Bright baseplate and spun wheels.
The Dinky box has been well protected from light and general wear, so looks practically as-new! Very vivid colours on crisp card and importantly complete with the correct colour spot. Tiny stain and the most minute wear only.
The outer carton fits snugly over the box and has been carefuly opened at both ends.
Ths is a truly exciting addition to any Dinky collection – we do not ever expect to see another!
