Dinky Toys, founded in 1934 by the British company Meccano Ltd., became famous for its high-quality metal vehicle miniatures. The brand played a major role in the 20th century toy industry, with accurate scale models of cars, trucks and planes that were sold worldwide. Dinky Toys became a pioneer in the field of miniature vehicles, loved by children and collectors alike for their attention to detail and durability.
The Renault 4L, introduced in 1961, was a revolutionary car in the French automotive industry. Designed as an affordable and versatile vehicle, the 4L became a worldwide success and one of Renault's best-selling cars. The model was known for its simplicity, reliability and spacious interior, making it ideal for both city and country use.
The Renault 4L was used by many public services, including the French post office and the fire brigade. The La Poste version, recognisable by its typical yellow colour, was used to deliver mail throughout France, while the fire brigade (Pompiers) version in its iconic red colour quickly became a familiar sight among emergency services.
Both models are finished down to the last detail, from the metal construction to the painted details, characteristic of the high quality of Dinky Toys. The set comes with the original boxes, featuring the classic Dinky Toys style, and a certificate confirming the authenticity of the reissue.
For collectors, this Atlas Dinky Toys Coffret Collector Set 518P Renault 4L represents a wonderful piece of toy history. Owning a set in mint condition, complete with boxes and certificate, increases its value considerably, especially given the nostalgic appeal of the Renault 4L and the quality of the Dinky Toys replicas.
