FD551

Notes

The scarce version of the more familiar English Dinky 150. Actually, this French issue was made using the English casting, although assembled in France and of course what distinguishes it from its more common cousin is the baseplate stamp ‘Assemble en France’.
This is a really fine example in gleaming two tone grey with notably bright and unrubbed chromed bumpers, and with a complete bonnet emblem too. Quite a beauty!

Giving the appearance of old shop stock, this model has a negligible dot on the roof. Brightest baseplate too. The plain yellow card box is complete, crisp, clean and bright with minor edge rubbing/light wear. No graffiti.
