D157
Dinky 157 Jaguar XK120 Coupe. Red. Scarce SPUN WHEELS version! Very, very near mint/boxed (late picture box with correct colour spot). Rare.
Notes
One of the best surviving examples. A desirable Dinky car, especially sought-after in this colour finish and a rare find with spun wheels. In all original, lustrous vivid red finish with a nice sheen to the bright paint finish without sunfading. A gleaming bright jewel of a car with an amazing as-new lustre.
Bright base and metal parts. As-new original treaded tyres.
Hard to fault – just a couple of tiny (probably as-made) marks.
The correct late paler yellow pictorial box showing spun wheel model is crisp, clean and complete. Correct colour spot. No graffiti. Little tear emanating from the vulnerable area at the tuck-in part of one large end flap. Minor handling wear besides.
