D131
Dinky 131 Cadillac Tourer. Yellow version. Early issue with cream ridged wheels. Very near mint/boxed. From The Reference Collection.
Notes
Guaranteed to brighten up the dullest days! Issued between 1956-61, this version has a wonderfully vibrant primrose yellow finish, cerise interior, early issue example with cream ridged wheels. Complete with detailed driver, steering wheel and intact original windscreen.
Smooth original tyres (one has a couple of faint flat spots).
In totally authentic original condition (nearly always found with touch-ins) with a shiny baseplate. Hard to find with such a barely marked paint finish – particularly at those vulnerable rear wing tips!
Shiny base generally , couple of tarnished patches.

The (correct for this early issue) deep yellow pictorial box is bright and complete, with a wonderfully crisp, as-new feel. Resistant end flaps. Correct colour spot. Little partial thumb tear at a small end flap edge.
