Marking to the paint finish mostly at wheel arches.
No card rings with this example.

The colourful card plinth on which car and rhino sit is a most attractive display piece.
Vividly-coloured backdrop with no wheel slot wear. Very crisp, clean and fresh, although note a tiny handling tear emanating from one of the little end flaps.
Both end pull tabs are present and intact.
The outer box is bright, clean and crisp. Very attractive example. Note the very small tear at an end flap. Very minor wear besides. Tiny fleck of surface loss.*
