Notes
A fine and lustrous version in bright red with matching ridged wheels, baseplate (somewhat tarnished now) with 40J cast. Barely a mark to the paint finish, but note a little light paint bubbling in place (minor, and as-made). No rubbing on the roof, so presents well.
Couple of little flat tyre spots.
The deeply-coloured picture box is complete, with no tears or graffiti. Note that this box has a cream colour spot (so would have been used for an early black and cream issue, before the black and cream ‘in the print’ colour spot box was issued).
For display purposes, the red version is pictured on one box face.
