Description
DINKY TOYS - SOUTH AFRICA (1)
552 CHEVROLET CORVAIR, grey, assembled in the Republic of South Africa, imported by ARTHUR E. HARRIS Ltd in JOHANNESBURG. The unassembled parts came from the BOBIGNY factory. Only six cars from Bobigny were distributed in this way, probably due to costs or import difficulties at the time (1966). These models are significantly rarer than the Liverpool models (Dinky GB) which were also assembled locally. All these models are quite distinctive, featuring exotic colours and a unique box printed in South Africa (with an illustration different from that on the French packaging, as well as text written in English on two sides and in Afrikaans on the other two). A small bubble has burst on the roof. The box is complete, with creases and some wear. A-.b.
