Notes
Issued between 1958-61, this classic Dinky car has a pale grey lower body with a bright mid-blue roof and boot, blue ridged wheels. Fine sheen to the original paint finish.
Note this is the harder to find version without the blue strip immediately below the windscreen.
Shiny base generally (little tarnished area) and original smooth tyres.
Small mark to the paint finish on one side of the roof. Occasional tiny body line rub. Note the stray drip of factory blue paint above a headlight.
The pictorial box is complete and vividly-coloured, with the correct colour spot at the end flaps. Light wear but no tears. Crisp feel.
