Dinky Toys Die-cast Fiat 600 D with Original Box
Description
A French-manufactured 1/43 scale model car of a Fiat 600 D. This die-cast metal toy features an off-white or cream painted body with a red plastic interior and a white steering wheel. The baseplate is constructed of unpainted metal and is struck with characters that read character-by-character: 1/43 520 63, FIAT 600, DINKY TOYS, MADE IN FRANCE MECCANO, and BTE S.G.D.G. The model is equipped with functional steering and suspension mechanisms and retains its original rubber tyres on metal hubs.
Included with the vehicle is its original yellow cardboard box. The box features colour illustrations of a light green Fiat 600 D in a snowy mountain setting. The text on the box identifies the maker as DINKY TOYS and states it was MADE IN FRANCE by MECCANO. Model number 520 and the car name FIAT 600 D are clearly printed on the faces and end flaps. French text on the box reads: Avec direction, suspension, aménagements intérieurs et glaces, alongside C’EST UNE FABRICATION MECCANO. One end flap bears a white rectangular adhesive price sticker with handwritten characters reading 5 F.
