Dinky Toys 101 Sunbeam Alpine Sports
Sunbeam Alpine Sports (touring finish) by Dinky Toys No. 101. Cerise with SPUN wheels. Very, very near mint/boxed. From The Reference Collection of fine Dinky Toys.
Notes
Another rare find from this collection. This Sunbeam Alpine model has a cerise finish, spun wheels, intact windscreen, driver.
Shiny base and the original treaded tyres are well-shaped.
Virtually mint! We have not seen better!
The bright and clean picture box is complete with all end flaps and the correct colour spot too. Crisp, showing barely any handling wear. Note the lightly pencilled writing on one side
(written by the shopkeeper back in the day perhaps?). This could be lightly removed/made fainter with an eraser but may also affect the colour vibrancy of the card at this site so we tend to leave alone. After all, it is a part of this model’s history.
Missing from many collections.
