Atlas Dinky Toys 23B Gestroomlijnde Raceauto No 6

The Dinky Toys 23B Race Car is one of the classic sports cars from the early French Dinky series and was first released by Meccano France in the 1940s. The model is inspired by the streamlined Grand Prix cars of the 1930s and 1940s, which symbolized speed and modern technology in Europe.

The version with starting number 6 is particularly recognizable and beloved by collectors. The simple yet elegant bodywork, the low driver's seating position, and the sleek lines make this model a true example of early Dinky style: robust, playful, and yet with a clear link to real motorsport.

For many children of that time, this was a dream car in miniature, recreating the atmosphere of legendary motor racing. Today, the 23B Race Car is considered an authentic piece of toy history that beautifully captures the pioneering spirit of motorsport in the 1940s and 1950s.

This particular example is in excellent condition and comes with the French brochure and original box. The presence of packaging and documentation makes this model particularly valuable, as such complete sets are becoming increasingly rare.

For Dinky Toys collectors or enthusiasts of historic racing cars, the 23B Race Car No. 6 is a unique and charming collectible with a rich history.
