D40A
Dinky 40A Riley Saloon. Very scarce early issue. Dark grey. Excellent plus/never boxed individually. From The Reference Collection.
Notes
This is a scarce early post-war Dinky model in dark grey with black wheels, early 1st type baseplate with cast pillars retaining the rear axle.
Made between 1947-50.
A little rough casting and this forgiving colour finish hides the occasional chip well. Baseplate has a little paint loss around some of the lettering. Stray, light smudge of red paint at a rear wing.
Not available as an individually boxed item during this period.
