D163
Dinky 163 Volkswagen 1600 TL. Early red issue. Near mint plus/boxed. From The Worcestershire Collection. Factory over-stuck Dinky number on Roadway.
Notes
This early issue has a vivid red finish with cast detailed hubs ( later issues would have Speedwheels).
Presents well with a fine and vivid red original finish -looks barely handled! Intact registration numbers front and rear.
Few little marks only.
Pristine plastic and card Roadway base has two plastic lugs which hold the car securely in place. Interesting to note that – one end of the Roadway has a Dinky factory over-stuck label 163 , whilst the other end still bears the 129 number for an earlier issue Volkswagen!
Pristine perspex top.
