Notes
Sought after models that are so difficult to find in good condition! Dinky dies were sold to the Indian Firm S. Kumar & Co. trading as Atamco. (1968-70). Often known as Indian-Dinky toys, the finish was poor in comparison.
An original Volkswagen 1500 model finished in vivid metallic green with original silver details, off-white interior, steering wheel, and intact window glazing. Shiny spun wheels and well-shaped original treaded tyres.
Shiny black base.Little as-made paint run on one side – but hard to find any paint chips!
Deeply-coloured card picture box is complete with all end flaps intact. Light wear only.
