Notes
Sought after models that are so difficult to find in good condition! Dinky dies were sold to the Indian Firm S. Kumar & Co. trading as Atamco. (1968-70). Often known as Indian-Dinky toys, the finish was poor in comparison.
An original Volkswagen 1500 model finished in intense silver, lightest blue interior, steering wheel, and intact window glazing. Shiny spun wheels and well-shaped original treaded tyres.
Shiny black base. 
Very near mint. 
Deeply-coloured card picture box is complete with all end flaps intact. The usual little edge rubs and a couple of small tears.
