Dinky 187
Dinky 187 De Tomaso-Mangusta. Very near mint/boxed.
Notes
A finely detailed early issue model presented in a rigid perspex case style box. Correct that this early issue has cast wheels, later issued with ‘Speedwheels’. Brightest orange-red and white finish (almost luminous) with clean and fresh racing number 7. Opening bonnet and gullwing engine covers. Gold engine and spare wheel visible.
Not the shy retiring type!
Mere dot or two to the paint finish.
Obviously unused and looks as if it has spent most of its 40 years or so on clean and bright card plinth! Complete with an intact rigid plastic cover.
A great example of an unmistakably ’70’s-style racing car.
