Notes
A delightful Set from this well-respected (Northern Ireland) diecast manufacturer, with all models made precisely to 1:42 scale.
Gift/Presentation Sets are particularly sought-after and this one containing 4 rather delectable classic Sports Cars is certainly no exception!
Issued during 1963, this Presentation Pack comprises:
1) 104 MGA in red, mid-grey seats. Virtually mint glossy paint finish (downgraded due to a loose windscreen, broken securing tab, but invisible once in position). Fine silver trim, complete number plates front and rear.
2) 105 Austin-Healey in grey, bright light blue seats. Few mere dots to the glossy paint finish. Intact windscreen. Complete number plates front and rear.
3) 107 Jaguar XK SS in fawn, with white seats and tonneau. Note that this model was erroneously factory-painted orange (orange paint visible around rivets and where the model has been chipped at baseplate rim). Little chip at bonnet edge too. Factory-painted in rare fawn.
Intact windscreen, complete number-plates front and rear. Wonderfully glossy paint finish. All original and very rare colour variation.
4) 108 Triumph TR3 in turquoise, grey seating. Another close to mint example, with an intact windscreen and a pleasing barely handled glossy finish. Complete number plate at the rear (only).
Inner card tray is a fitting partner with intact fresh and clean card (no tears, no parts missing, *no graffiti).
Box base has wear and edge scuffing (heavy in one corner).
Lid is complete and bright but note notable puncture repair. Edge rubbing and a carefully repaired corner split.
