FD501
French Dinky 501 Citroen DS19 'POLICE' Car. Near mint/boxed. Scarce model from The Berlin Collection.
Notes
This sought-after Citroen Police car is in close to mint condition finished in a striking deepest blue and white, with an intact copper-coloured roof light, jewelled headlights, suspension on shiny concave wheels, and well-shaped ‘Dunlop’ embossed tyres. Complete ‘POLICE’ lettering throughout.
Occasional tiny mark.
Painstaking inspection reveals a couple of subtle touch-ins, however. Easily overlooked.
The attractive, illustrated card box is colourful and clean. Note the little puncture caused by the roof light on one box face. All end flaps are intact (little crumple or two). No serrated tab. No graffiti. No tears.
