Lot 566 - DINKY TOYS (FRANCE) (1) VEP 15 Mars 2008

DINKY TOYS (FRANCE) 24ZT SIMCA VERSAILLES 'TAXI' rouge, toit noir

il s'agit de la toute première version illustrée sur le catalogue de 1959, sans vitrage & avec le plancher échancré 'SIMCA VERSAILLES' marqué 24Z - la couleur rouge est la même que celle utilisée pour la PEUGEOT 403 familiale - bien que l'on puisse croire que tous les modèles étaient peints en noir avec le toit rouge, il a bien existé une toute première série très limitée, dont il ne reste aujourd'hui que 4 ou 5 exemplaires recensés - la seule pièce connue à l'état neuf a été adjugée 10.600€ par COLLECTOYS le 18 décembre 1999 - le présent modèle est celui qui est présenté par Monsieur Jean-Michel ROULET & qui figure en description illustrée pages 103 & 104 de son ouvrage - on y joint une boîte de la SIMCA ARIANE TAXI - PIECE DE LEGENDE !
