ESSAI COULEUR

DINKY TOYS (FRANCE) 24U SIMCA 9 ARONDE (version avec calandre en escalier) gris souris

les 'essais couleur' étaient des modèles présentés à la direction de MECCANO, dont les coloris n'ont pas été retenus pour la commercialisation - la présente pièce est sans doute unique (déjà présentée en vente chez Collectoys le 18 novembre 2005) - ce modèle a certainement été proposé dès le début de la production (fin 1953, intérieur de toit lisse) - le matage des axes de roues & le rivetage ne laissent aucun doute sur l'authenticité du modèle assemblé avec l'outillage de BOBIGNY - les détails de peinture argentés ont été réalisés au pinceau - cette pièce provient de la collection personnelle de Monsieur Jean THEVENIN, ancien chef du service exportation de MECCANO FRANCE - pneus séchés - EXEPTIONNEL !
