Dinky Toys 129 M.G. Midget Sports
M.G. Midget Sports by Dinky Toys, No.129. Very near mint/boxed (internal end flap repair). Very scarce U.S. issue. Originally from The Phillips Collection. Now part of The Ground Crew Collection.
Notes
Dinky 108 was issued briefly as an U.S. export model in both red and cream.
This red version is a real showstopper! This M.G. has a brilliant flame red finish with mid brown seats, red ridged wheels, intact original windscreen, correct without driver or racing numbers.
The baseplate is bright and without tarnishing. Correct that the number 108 is printed on the base since a special baseplate for the U.S. issue was never made.
Couple of little wheel arch chips.
The pictorial box is very bright and complete. One small end flap has been re-attached. Correct colour spot. Period pencilled price at an end flap and a little age/handling wear.
