Dinky Toys 157 Jaguar XK120

Notes

Rare version in this palest cream shade with matching wheels. Note that this is an early casting with casting lines clearly visible on the bonnet and boot (slightly later castings lose these details). Note too the ‘crispness’ of the casting of the side raised details too. A desirable and scarce colour issue – this Dinky Jaguar is in honest all original condition with some marking to the paint finish.

For comparison only, please take a look at this model on the right when set alongside the slightly deeper cream version with even deeper cream wheels:

Bright baseplate and smooth original tyres run well.
The correct card box is complete, crisp and brightly-coloured with a cream colour spot on the end flaps. Light storage grubbiness.
An exceptionally difficult version to find.
