D158
Dinky 158 Riley Saloon. Cream with green wheels version. Very, very near mint/boxed. EXCEPTIONAL! From a private collection of Dinky and Corgi models, mostly purchased during the early 1980's at U.K. auction houses.
Notes
A delightful and unused example! This Riley Saloon model has a very fine cream paint finish with bright original silver detailing at the radiator and lights, green wheels.
Couple of tiny dots at the rear, if you want to fault it. Bright baseplate has a tow hook aperture and large print wth 40A.
Looks like old shop stock.
The box is a real beauty with day-one bright colours on crisp, barely handled card. Very crisp fresh feel. No graffiti. Hard to find this good!
