Notes
A fine gleaming example of this model which has a distinctive sky blue finish with bright spun wheels, scarce with a chrome base and black treaded tyres.
Looking like old shop stock:
In original, barely handled condition with just a couple of tiny marks, and minor rubbing to the base.
The correct lighter yellow picture box looks very close to shop-fresh, with such clean, vivid colours and crisp card. Note that this version does not have the usual colour spot detail at the end flaps ( a more difficult find).
Minor wear to the tuck-in parts of the large end flap ( including a small tear).
End flap crease. Period shop price label.
A very nice example indeed.
