D165
Dinky 165 Humber Hawk (with windows). Green & black version with spun wheels. RARE LATE ISSUE with a GREEN ROOF. Very near mint/boxed (correct late issue with colour spot). From The East Netherlands Collection.
Notes
This model has a lustrous green and black finish, with shaped spun hubs. This late version with a green roof is a very difficult find.
Occasional pin prick/little mark and an additional tiny flick of green paint at a rear wing top ( probably factory). Original green roof is unrubbed. This version has both front and rear number plate casting (issued with or without).
Bright and complete, late issue/export box has the colour spot for the other colour issue. Rather grubby now with minor handling wear. Period pencilled price at an end flap.
An extremely scarce variant and only the second we have handled in many years of dealing.
