D176
Dinky 176 Austin A105 Saloon. Very near mint/boxed (repair). Scarce version in cream with mid-blue roof and blue flash, spun wheels. From the 1200 model Italian collection.
Notes
This scarce version has a cream finish with a mid blue roof and flash at the sides, spun hubs. Interestingly, the Austin A105 was the first Dinky car to be made with window glazing!
This example is in close to perfect condition with a couple of tiny marks on the roof and a couple of little marks at the bumpers. Original white tyres are very clean. A very attractive display piece.
The yellow picture box is bright with a cream colour spot at the end flaps. Repaired tear at one side and a small area of surface removal at an end flap. Creasing and minor wear besides.
