Notes

Issued during 1968. This is one of the fabled ‘POCH’ French Dinky models assembled in Spain, finished in a distinctive bright mid-blue with a detailed red interior, white steering wheel, and the correct ‘PIRELLI’ tyres. Well-shaped but note that two have little extra piece of rubber that could be removed to enable smoother running.
In excellent plus condition with a few small lightened areas.

Shiny base.

Fd563b7612

Hard to find a mark, although minute scrutiny reveals a small touch-in immediately above the opening boot and another little stroke where the casting is a touch rough around the bonnet line.
The complete and correct POCH box is grubby now. Notably complete with the little serrated strip still in place, although nearly detached now. Some wear and tear besides. Note the printed POCH lettering and details in Spanish at end flaps.
