Notes
Not an easy model to find – and this early example in vivid red is eagerly sought by collectors. This impressive car has a vibrant, all original lustrous finish, black interior, spoked wheels, opening doors, bonnet (revealing a detailed engine), and boot. Detailed interior has tip up seats and a rear sliding seat.In very close to perfect condition; with minor marking to the chrome headlights and very light rubbing to the over-riders. Well-shaped original tyres.
The colourful blister box is bright and clean with an intact bubble. Only the most minor wear. Not often found with the detachable card piece which slides in at the back of the box (light crumple and a period pencilled price on one of the ‘wings’). This example comes complete with the stiff card packing piece which fits over the model when it is placed within the ‘bubble’.
