Lot 694 - DINKY TOYS FRANCE (1) VEP 12 Avril 2003

DINKY TOYS (FRANCE) 528 PEUGEOT 404 Cabriolet PININFARINA (essai de couleur) rouge

Il s'agit de l'un des 2 premiers essais de couleur pour ce modèle provenant directement du bureau d'étude de Bobigny - ce projet de couleur non retenue par la direction, a été accepté par la suite pour le cabriolet 204 - les sièges avant ont été peints grossièrement en noir pour la présentation - la banquette arrière n'a pas été fixée - le modèle est doté d'un volant noir alors que celui du modèle commercialisé était blanc - l'emplacement de la plaque minéralogique arrière n'est pas peint - l'autocollant matérialisant la plaque reprend le numéro d'immatriculation de la voiture de l'un des collaborateurs de MECCANO comme il était de coutume au bureau d'étude, afin de ne pas créer un problème avec un numéro pris au hasard - l'ouverture du capot laisse apparaître un moteur peint en noir au lieu de vert métal dans la version commercialisée - les feux arrière sont orange afin de les distinguer de la carrosserie - le plancher zamac est riveté - cet essai-prototype fait partie des quelques pièces que se sont partagées les collaborateurs à la fermeture des bureaux de Bobigny - une copie du certificat de travail de Monsieur VIEVILLE sur entête MECCANO sera remis à l'heureux adjudicataire de cette pièce unique
