Notes
Issued between 1959-62, this Simca model has an original bright red and black finish, complete with meter, and taxi sign on the roof. Early issue with bright convex wheels and a shiny black baseplate. Silver trim. Original tyres (with no flat spots!). 1:43 scale.
Difficult to fault – just a couple of (factory) stray dots of silver near a wheel arch and the occasional negligible mark besides. Nice to see that the red roof is unrubbed and that there is no chipping at the edges either.
The dual-numbered box is complete and really crisp. Strong colours. Barely any wear at all.
