D265
Dinky 265 Plymouth USA Taxi. Near mint/boxed. Outstanding box!
Notes
Issued between 1960-64, this eye-catching Dinky taxi has a deep orange-yellow and red paint finish, bright shaped spun wheels with suspension and white original tyres (grubbiness to a couple of the tyres). Few tarnished spots on the otherwise bright baseplate and a complete ‘Taxi’ sign on the roof.
Lettering at the sides is largely unrubbed. Some light rubbing to the raised body lines at the sides and there are a couple of very subtle touch-ins, just about visible if you peer closely enough. Few tiny marks besides
Wonderfully crisp, clean and bright shop-fresh box! Penned number at an end flap and a tiny crumple.
