Club Dinky France CDF22 Citroen Van Camion Fourgon 70 Ans des Dinky Toys 2003

—————

This Dinky Toy 70 year commemorative was commissioned by the French collector’s association Club Dinky France (CDF). One of about 100 manufactured, and available only to club members in 2003.

NOT related to the later Atlas reproductions. NOT a Dan Toys issue. NOT a code 3 repaint, one-off hack job, or built up kit.

An eBay-wide search for “Club Dinky France” will show other CDF offerings or recent sales.

Item is cast in white metal (lead alloy), with a factory quality paint job. CDF models were typically manufactured under contract by Ian Law of PP Copy Models in Britain.

Clearly inspired by British Dinky 930 Pallet-Jekta Van, with a U23 cab similar to French Dinky 586 Citroen 55 Milk Truck. Makes a nice companion display piece to either.

CONDITION: MINT & BOXED. Looks unused. Pair of tiny casting imperfections on base. Spare and driver’s rear tire have split with age.

BOX is in great shape with light shop wear. Comes with original packing pieces and wrap.

Model is about 6.25 inches in length. A collector’s piece not suitable for use by children.

Please review the photographs as they are part of lot description.

From a non-smoking and climate controlled home.
