D153
Dinky 153 Standard Vanguard Saloon. Excellent plus/boxed. Mid blue issue with the more unusual cream wheels. From the 1200 model Italian collection. Crisp, clean, correctly-spotted box.
Notes
Issued between 1954-60, this model has a bright mid-blue finish with cream hubs, closed in rear wheel spats.
Some rubbing at raised side body lines and the occasional little mark besides.
The box is really fresh and clean with the most vivid colours. So crisp!
Correct colour spot at the end flap, too. Small area of surface removal where the shopkeeper’s price has been penned at an end flap.
