D181
Dinky 181 Volkswagen. Scarce RAF blue issue, mid blue wheels. Very near mint/boxed. From The Eric Slager Collection.
Notes
What a fine and gleaming example of this scarce version with the distinctive RAF blue finish, mid blue ridged wheels, smooth, well-shaped tyres, fine original silver detailing at bumpers and lights, bright baseplate (minor spidering).
Couple of minor marks on one side (door handle, body line).
The crisp and bright card box has the correct colour spot at the end flaps. Resistant end flaps show that this box has had minimal handling.
A very nice example indeed.
