FD29D
French Dinky 29D Renault TN4H Paris Bus. Excellent plus/never individually boxed. A rare pre-war model from an early Dinky specialist in Northern England. The first we have ever handled!
Notes
An exciting and rare model from this knowledgeable early Dinky collector.
This is the pre-war version and the first we have handled.
In all original condition, this pre-war issue has a dark green lower section with a cream tinplate upper half. Correct that this issue has a low set cast-in driver. Silver trim. Silver-painted base. Note the smooth wheels with rubber tyres ( the owner is sure that this model was issued like this with three original white tyres and one black one). All are well-shaped and run easily on the correct thin axles.
Near mint, authentic condition:
Note the chip at a front wheel arch, two head-on, and another couple on the roof front edge. Wheels have faint crazing but correctly stored, we do not expect this minor fatigue to deteriorate.
Issued 1939-40
