Notes
Early issue made between 1949-54, and sent to the shops in trade boxes of six.
This fine classic car has an early baseplate with raised rails and small lettering, later this model would be re-numbered 152. A gleaming maroon finish with matching wheels, original silver detailing at radiator, lights and bumpers. Correct that this early issue does not have ‘DEVON’ cast to the underside of the roof. Bright baseplate has just one small tarnished spot. Shiny button-ended axles. Original tyres run well.
Presents so well with a fine sheen to the original paint finish.
Looking extra-critically at the model, you may note very minor rough casting at a rear wheel arch and a mere dot or two to the paint finish besides.
