Notes
A collection some 20 years in the making. Renos Louka from Virginia Water, Surrey specialised in Film & TV models. His interest was due to his occupation of supplying camera and lighting equipment to the film, TV and broadcast industry.
First issue of this Daimler ambulance in cream finish, red ridged wheels and cast Red Cross emblems on both sides. Shiny base and well-shaped original tyres.
Early issue, correct without window glazing.
Little rough casting on the roof , otherwise hard to fault. Obviously rarely handled.
The pictorial card box is really very fresh and strongly-coloured.
A classic Dinky model made between 1954-58.
