Living in France should have allowing me to get many incredible pre-war French Dinkies... Well I don't know if there were much more models made on the other side of the Channel, but during those past years I came accross many top British models for so few french ones.
They are so hard to get in near perfect condition that I quickly quit trying to collect them, for the benefit of their Liverpudlian counterparts.
A few months ago I've been involved in a long deal with a very long time collector, I had some very special pre-war French Plaster & Flour and Lead models, and part of that exchange was this incredible French 24g Four seater tourer finished in grey over deep red chassis.
Finding a pre war french model in such an incredible condition is amazing. It's believed to having been purchased new in the sixties by one of those collector pioneers, it has a number painted by that very owner to the underside of the chassis.
The colour scheme is also quiet incredible, these grey and dark red are rarely seen. It's fitted with the regular French grille, second base type with tell tale indicators, Dunlop branded tyres and of course the base reads "Made in France".
An Apple a day is the sole album recorded by the band called Apple in 1968. Totally unnoticed at the time, this album gained fame in the 80's when late 60's music became sought after, and finaly reached at some top of the most expensive British psychedelic albums.
"On the other side" is one of the gems contained on this album rereleased many times, that I can only encourage you to purchase.
