French Dinky 35A
French Dinky 35A Citroen Breakdown Truck 'DINKY SERVICE'. Near mint plus/boxed. Early issue. From The Berlin Collection.
Notes
An early example of this nicely finished Citroen Breakdown vehicle, later re-numbered to 582. Lustrous finish throughout, with complete ‘DINKY SERVICE’ lettering on both sides. Bright winding handle and axle ends. Spare wheel stowed behind the cab. Such a beautiful and vibrant lustre with no sunfading:
Generally bright baseplate and well-shaped supple tyres.
In close to mint condition with the occasional little mark.
The pictorial box is complete, with strong colours. A few little edge scuffs and light wear.
One of our favourite French Dinky models.
