Notes
We are thrilled to be able to offer these remarkable models for sale. Issued in extremely low numbers at the time, they were assembled and painted in Arica, a duty-free city on the Northern tip of Chile. These exceptionally rare models were discovered by a collector on a trip to South America. The castings were made in Italy and then assembled and painted in Chile.
Finished in an attractive shade of Chilean carmine red, cream detailed interior, white-painted cast wheels, supple original tyres. Opening bonnet and boot. Rear number plate. Black painted base.
The occasional small mark only.
Colourful, crisp and complete card box looks very fresh. Note the all-important ?ARMADO EN ARICA? (Made in Arica) stamp on on one non-picture side of the box.
