Dinky Toys 126 Motor Show Gift Set Very Near Mint/Boxed

Dinky Toys No.126 Motor Show Gift Set 2nd issue (1968/1969)

The 127 Rolls-Royce comes in gold with chrome hubs, pale blue interior. Virtually mint as unlikely ever removed from plinth.

The 133 Cortina comes in lemon with spun hubs, red interior. Virtually mint as unlikely ever removed from plinth.

The 151 Vauxhall Victor comes in lemon with spun hubs, red interior. Virtually mint as unlikely ever removed from plinth.

The 171 Austin 1800 comes in metallic blue with spun hubs, red interior. Virtually mint as unlikely ever removed from plinth.

The under engineered yellow & red box has fared very well with only 2 small repairs & the original cellophane sympathetically reattached.  Still bright in colour and showing little handling wear and importantly no punctures. Correct over sticker to end flap.

The plinth must of been removed from the box only a handful of times in 50 years as it's in such vibrant condition. It looks like the models are still mounted by the original retainers and elastics.  

A wonderful & difficult to find Dinky set
