D281
Dinky 281 Luxury Coach. Cream, orange flash, GREEN wheels. Very near mint/unboxed. Scarce. From The Reference Collection.
Notes
Issued between 1954-60 in various colour finishes, this delightful unused example is finished in cream with orange flashes and very difficult to find with green ridged wheels (more commonly found on the tan version). Generally shiny baseplate (minor ‘spidering’) with small print.
Notably free of the usual box rubbing to the side flashes!
Looking like unsold shop stock, this example has just a couple of little marks only. Presents well with a pleasing lustre.
