D171

Notes

This classic Dinky model was issued between 1956-58. Attractive highline paint scheme in turquoise and red, with red hubs, bright baseplate.
Please note that there are no chips on this model – the marks are merely light reflection ( this is a glossy model).
No roof rub either and the colours are day-one vibrant.

Shiny base.

A couple of minor bumper marks and each original smooth tyre has a flat spot (this model has been in one position for a long, long time). Flick of red paint on the bonnet emblem visible under magnification only.
The card box is very bright, clean and complete. Crisp. Very minor age wear only. No graffiti. Correct colour spot at the end flaps. Period shop label on an end flap.
