D148
Dinky 148 Ford Fairlane. Bright mid blue issue. Very rare South African model. Mint/boxed (minor wear). From a fine Dinky Collection in the East Netherlands.
Notes
Such an attractive Ford Fairlane model finished in this eye-catching bright mid blue with correct clean white tyres. Such a rare find too!
Correct that the baseplate is standard for this model, as these were assembled in South Africa using English components (1963). Distinctive and correct South African rivets.
Few Dinky collections can boast one of these, correctly presented in the Arthur E. Harris South African box!
The pictorial box with Afrikaans text at an end flap and side panel has a little handling wear and one end flap has been very carefully repaired at the seam. Generally excellent with vibrant colours and no graffiti.
Only the second we have ever offered for sale. One of the rarest Dinky toys you can buy!
