Notes
A superb example finished in a silky olive green; early issue so note the early style grille, painted convex wheels. Version with cross-hatching on the roof underside. Bright baseplate. Original white tyres.
Under the most critical scrutiny, you will see a little mark above a headlight. .
The early style picture box is crisp, clean and bright. Minor handling wear only.
