PROTOTYPE

DINKY TOYS (FRANCE) 50P Prototype de la grue SALEV

ce modèle est un trésor de l'histoire de DINKY TOYS - il a été détenu pendant plus de 50 ans par un ancien collaborateur de l'usine MECCANO qui a souhaité rester anonyme (au même titre que pour la balayeuse et l'OPEL REKORD TAXI sur cette même vente) - il s'agit probablement du seul & unique prototype de la grue SALEV, présenté à la direction dans les années 1960 - il se distingue du modèle de série par sa taille plus petite, sa fabrication plus grossière (les matériaux semblent plus denses), son ABSENCE de détails moulés (conducteur & siège non perforé) & d'inscriptions sur le plancher - certains détails ont été réalisés au stylo - les couleurs semblent identiques au modèle final à l'exception des jantes & du bras de grue grises - le support de grue est monté à l'inverse & la plaque avant est pourvue d'un décalque en lieu & place des décorations moulées - ces spécificités ne laissent aucun doute sur son authenticité ! - le modèle traditionnel de série illustré n'est PAS A VENDRE - SUPERBE TEMOIN DE L'HISTOIRE MECCANO !
