French Dinky 1435 Citroen Presidentielle. Near mint/boxed. Includes original flag, intact bonnet emblem and Instructions Leaflet. From a large private European collection.
Notes
A sought-after French Dinky model, this Citroen Presidentielle model has a sleek two tone grey finish, detailed flock fawn interior with driver, bonnet mounted shield and delicate French flag. Not an easy find with all the delicate accessories present and intact!
Barely a mark to the paint finish, although there is some rubbing to the chrome bumpers. Number plates are complete both front and rear.
The box is in fine and complete condition with a bright red card plinth and an intact bubble casing (slightly light affected now but there are no crushes, crumples or tears).
Little area of surface removal on the plinth at the sides due to the original tape which kept the bubble in place.
Pictorial lift-off lid is has strong colours on crisp sturdy card. Traces of the original tape used to keep the lid in situ. Minor age grubbiness only. No corner splits or rubbing at edges. Complete with a neatly folded Instruction Leaflet, too.
Issued between 1970-71.
