A stunning version of this popular Dinky in bright blue with a cream tin plate cover and lemon ridged wheels. At the back is a tow hook and as a later version of this model, it comes with 'M' tyres and a shiny black base plate. Fully light tested and no touch-ins.

Available for sale from my own long standing personal Dinky collection Very Rare South African Dinky & correct Box. 'A Diecast Gem' History I remember the day I bought this model through Vectis Auctions back in 2006 and the BBC where there. I was interviewed re the purchase for one of their 'Inside Out' programs which was only broadcast locally in the Tyneside area. I remember the interview so well and my hope and plan was not to say a single 'Um' or 'Err' during the interview. If I got any tongue tie to slow my speech and allow my brain to get back in synch with my speech. It worked and was one of my own personal proudest moments. I said no umms or errs. Distributed through a company 'Arthur E Harris' during the apartheid conflict in the early 1960's there were possibly only one or two shipments of parts sent frfom the UK where installation and packing was completed in South Africa.

This is the scarce and later issue blue Talbot with yellow racing no '4' but with the sought after spun wheels. It also features the later 230 shiny gloss bae plate.
