Dinky Toys 562 2CV ANWB +

The Dinky Toys 562 Citroën 2CV ANWB is a unique model, produced between 1965 and 1968 by Meccano Ltd. This model is based on the iconic Citroën 2CV, nicknamed the "Ugly Duckling", which became one of the most recognisable cars of the 20th century. The ANWB version of this Dinky Toys model is particularly popular, because it is a miniature representation of the 2CV as it was used by the ANWB (Algemene Nederlandse Wielrijders Bond) for roadside assistance.

The Dinky Toys 562 is made in the characteristic yellow colour of the ANWB, complete with ANWB logo. This model is praised for its attention to detail and the typical charm of the Citroën 2CV. The 2CV, designed as a simple and affordable car, was known for its functionality and durability, and was often used by the ANWB because of its manoeuvrability and reliability.

A Dinky Toys 562 Citroën 2CV ANWB in lightly played condition bears the traces of years of play and fun. The light traces of use give the model an authentic character and reflect the rich history of this miniature as a toy car. Despite the played condition, this remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item, especially because of the rarity of the ANWB version and the short production time.

For collectors and enthusiasts of both Dinky Toys and the Citroën 2CV, this model remains a piece of nostalgia, capturing the simplicity and charm of the classic 2CV in a functional context. Made in France.
