D181
Dinky 181 Volkswagen. Pale grey, blue wheels. Early issue with smooth tyres and no rear light detail. Very, very near mint/boxed. From The Harrogate Collection.
Notes
Finished in grey with mid-blue wheels and well-formed smooth original tyres, bright baseplate. Lovely original lustre on this VW model first issued during 1956.
Correct that this early issue would have no rear light detail.
Looks barely handled. Near-microscopic dot or two if you really want to fault it.
The picture box is really crisp, fresh and bright. Complete, with all end flaps intact. Correct colour spot.
Very nice!
