FD571
French Dinky 571 Saviem Transporter with Sulky. Very near mint/boxed. With usually missing reins, decals applied. Scarce item from The Lancashire Collection.
Notes
A scarce and sought-after item from The French Dinky factory, issued between 1969-71, 1:43 scale.
A very fine set, comprising:
1) Saviem Goelette Horse Box finished in blue and white with plastic wood effect side panels. Opening door and two-part top section at the rear. Concave blue metal wheels. In superb, unused condition with just one mark at a wheel arch and minor marking to the front bumper.
2) Green two-wheeled plastic Sulky complete with horse and driver. Complete with all fragile parts intact. Mint!
Most attractive pictorial plinth which serves as a superb backdrop with appropriate art work is in a close to pristine state with no tears at wheel slots and crisp day one bright card.
No Instructions with this example.
The pictorial end flap box is generally crisp and bright with no repairs, punctures or graffiti. Nearly always suffering age wear and tear, this example has fared well. Minor wear and tear to the tuck-in part of the large end flaps and on one small end flap. Colours are vibrant and there is none of the mottling to the white background picture (common fault). Light grubbiness.
An exceptional Super Dinky Set!
