D182
Dinky 182 Porsche 356A Coupe. Spun wheel issue in matt cream. Excellent plus/boxed. From an extensive private collection in the U.K.
Notes
This classic Dinky car was issued between 1958-66. This later issue has an original matt cream finish with shiny, shaped spun wheels, sleek matt base. As-new, original treaded tyres.
A little rough casting mostly at the side window surrounds where there is some paint flaking. Couple of marks at the rear bumper on one side and a stray light flick of factory red (details like the the rear lights would have been hand applied at the time).
Correct later issue paler yellow box is complete and crisp with no tears. Strong colours. Couple of little stain dots and a grubby storage mark or two. No graffiti.
