M53M
Tri-ang Minic 53M Single Deck 'Green Line' Transport Bus. Near mint/boxed. From The MCM Collection.
Notes
An impressive example in two tone green, this Single Deck London Transport Bus has complete ‘GREEN LINE’ and ‘LONDON TRANSPORT’ transfers on both sides, and a working clockwork motor. Endearing ‘BISTO’ transfer at the rear of the bus is complete too. Shiny wheels and original, well-shaped, smooth white tyres (light crazing to one, couple of crazing lines to others, but still sound and feeling supple).
Two tarnished areas to the radiator. Barely any wear besides.
Card end flap box with colourful picture details is complete, although note that one small end flap has been re-attached. Period inked prices one one picture face. Puncture on one non-picture side and a little light grubbiness/age wear besides.
