Dinky toys 23k 230 talbot lago racing car ff660 base

Shiny base.
Mere dot or two to the paint finish.
The deep yellow dual-numbered pictorial box is bright with quite a crisp feel and marks the change to the later numbering (230) which occurred in 1954. Note this model has 23K on the base, too, whereas later it would be 230. Light wear/grubbiness and a small fleck of surface loss. No punctures!
