This particular model was sold on ebay by George's Good Stuff in February 2006 for £72.50 in the following condition:
This very rarely offered French Dinky model is just a few tiny marks short of mint, it's an absolute beauty, attached to its equally superb crisp, clean, bright card base, complete with the original plastic lid engraved with the words Dinky Toys which is showing light wear and one crack but is all 100 per cent original and complete - very nice indeed!
Also present is the very scarce original instruction leaflet for removing the roof panels and operating the pop-up headlights from the switch underneath.
All in all, a lovely example of a rarely offered Dinky model, and a wonderful addition to any collection!
