FD1414
French Dinky 1414 Renault R8 Gordini. Near mint/boxed, with transfer slip. Scarce model from The Reigate Collection.
Notes
A striking French Dinky Renault model – and one that does not seem to come up for sale that often!
Finished in a distinctive shade of mid-blue with white stripes and concave wheels (wear to the front wheel finish). Original ‘Dunlop’ tyres (fine tread) are well-shaped. Complete with driver, all four jewelled lights and bright silver trim, white strip.
Minute scrutiny will find minor wear right at the edge of the boot stripe. Stray dab of light blue paint at a roof edge.
Nice to see that this item comes with the sheet containing the number plates (racing numbers applied). No ‘Gordini’ label. Couple of tiny raised casting dots on the driver’s side front wing.
The pictorial box is complete, clean and vividly-coloured with all end flaps intact. Minor age wear only.
