DINKY-TOYS - France - metal - 1/43rd (1) RARISSIME # 560 CITROËN 2 CV mail van "Beaulieu Ste Assise" golden yellow, blue threads. Version with Dunlop "nylon" tires and anodized frame, without "25D". A rectangle of paper, on which appears in blue letters the inscription "Beaulieu- Ste-Assise, October 1965" is very neatly glued on the left side. The right side is missing. This model, published in little more than a hundred copies, was distributed in 1965 on the occasion of the inauguration of the post office located in the housing estate adjoining the park of the Château de Ste-Assise, near Melun (77). The estate, which belonged to the PTT, was at the time home to one of the largest French radio-communication centres. According to some sources, the remains of these 2CV vans would have been dispersed the same year at the inauguration of the swimming pool of the nearby PTT holiday centre. Today, about ten of them are said to remain in the collection. The present part appears in good condition of use, with some wear and tear on the protruding edges, and scales mainly located on the front left wing. A nice original 2CV fire engine box ref. 25D is attached. C/a
