Notes
A pleasing, all original example, first issued during 1963. Lustrous deep orange-yellow original paint finish, bright original silver radiator and lights, complete ‘swallow’ emblems on both front doors, and blue side stripe.
Shiny base and well-shaped original tyres.
Little chip on one side and a few tiny marks besides.
The colourfully illustrated card box is intact and crisp. No tears. Resistant end flaps show that this box has been opened rarely. Complete with the serrated tab intact. Only the most minor storage grubbiness.
