Notes
What an exciting colour trial/sample piece – and a shame this model never went into production. This Volvo P.1800 model is finished in gloss white with a matt black bonnet, red interior, and black painted spun wheels.‘136 ’ racing numbers and ’Monte Carlo’ Rally labels. Red interior. Driver. Rivetted base.
Note the deterioration to the tyres and a few very minor paint marks. Couple of dabs of cream paint added.
An exceptionally scarce piece.
