FD551
French Dinky 551 Ford Taunus 17M Police Car. Very, very near mint/boxed. Very scarce German export model.
Notes
One of the rarest French Dinky models, this Taunus is finished in darkest green and white with perfect ‘POLIZEI’ lettering in cream on both doors and boot. Blue light on the roof. Rarely comes up for sale.
If you are looking to fault it, you could note that the rear Polizei label has been set a little off-centre. Thin factory mark above the rear label. Few tiny tarnished spots on the base.
Correctly presented in the deep yellow picture box with German print. Fresh, bright clean and complete with barely any age wear at all. Trace of a puncture (not full thickness).
Extremely scarce – and in this condition a real find!
