Notes
This Alfa Romeo model has a vivid gleaming red and white finish, rare late issue with red plastic wheels. White driver, attractive and original silver detailing head-on and at the sides, racing number 8 on both sides (light peppering of fine dots to one number).
As-new original grey tyres.
This issue has a shiny baseplate. No chips to the driver’s head and a very fine lustre throughout! Little factory mark behind the driver’s seat. Couple of little marks toward the rear point.
The pictorial box is complete and brightly-coloured, feeling crisp. Nice silky finish. Note that one large end flap has been re-attached however. Shopkeeper’s price is pencilled at an end flap.
