Dinky Toys 171 Austin 1800

The Dinky Toys 171 Austin 1800, produced between 1965 and 1968, is an iconic model from British motoring history. Released by Meccano Ltd., this scale model is an accurate replica of the popular Austin 1800, a family car renowned for its spaciousness and innovative hydrolastic suspension. The Dinky model is executed in exquisite detail with a distinctive teal colour scheme and metal wheels.

This example is in very good condition, which is exceptional considering its age and the fact that many of these models were played with by children. The original packaging is present but is in poor condition; the plastic wrap is torn, showing signs of wear typical of packaging from this period. Nevertheless, it is a valuable addition for collectors.

As a bonus, a good quality reproduction of the original box has been added, making this item look complete in a display cabinet or as part of a collection. Made in England.
