Notes
We are very pleased to have for sale a collection of South African Dinky models from a lifelong Dinky collector who has compiled an extensive, high quality diecast collection over decades.
Hard to find in any condition and certainly never in multiples – we are delighted to have for sale 13 boxed South African Dinky models! Unfinished models were exported to South Africa from 1966. They were sent as castings and painted and assembled there, largely as a way of getting around the laws prohibiting export of finished goods to South Africa at this time. All housed in Dinky boxes with some Afrikaans text and of course most importantly the Arthur E.Harris print on the box.
Finished in an attractive gleaming deep cream with red seating, driver. Shiny spun wheels, bright chrome, gloss base (few rust spots), South African rivets, and as-new fine tread tyres.
In very close to mint, original condition:
The correct Arthur E. Harris Dinky box is clean, complete and brightly-coloured.
Couple of minor end flap tears. Minor wear besides.
One of the rarest Dinky models.
