Notes

The New European collection richly evoking the period between the late 1950?s through to the mid 1970?s, this large collection has been lovingly compiled by an enthusiast with particular emphasis on point of sale, including original cabinets and literature, prototypes, promotional items, alongside a high quality collection of individual models and Gift Sets

Issued between 1961-64, this is a rare and sought-after Gift Set!
This dazzling gold-plated set comprises:

The few examples that come to the market place nearly always have models with a poor, heavily pitted paint finish. The comparatively fragile boxes are often in a very poor state. This example has fared very well indeed in both respects.

1) 224 Bentley Continental, with only light surface pitting to the finish (these models are nearly always found with a poor finish). Intact bonnet emblem, red interior, spun wheels. Jewelled front and rear lights. Original, as-new grey tyres. Couple of marks on the bonnet.

2) 229 Chevrolet Corvair, with only light surface pitting to the finish, red interior. Smooth-running original tyres. A couple of little marks on the roof (due to contact with the inner card packing. Chip at a front wing.

3) 234 Ford Consul. With very light surface pitting, red interior, and fine tyres. Gold plated base too! Couple of marks on the boot (contact with card packing).

All three cars sit within a *two-tier card tray *which is bright and clean, looking fresh. Minor wear only. With two original card packing’ wedges’.

Outer sleeve is bright and deeply-coloured, complete with no graffiti. Original cellophane window has a split. A little rubbing and a small edge tear. Minor age/handling wear.

Still one of the best examples you will find.
