Notes
A rare find indeed! This D Type Jaguar model is a transition issue with lemon plastic wheels (rather than the deeper yellow plastic issue that came later) and a blue metal (not plastic) driver. Black plastic steering wheel*. Bright original turquoise finish throughout.
Gloss base and well-shaped treaded tyres.
The occasional little mark at some raised details/exposed points. Displays nicely with a lustrous finish.
The correct paler yellow picture box is compete, and strongly-coloured throughout. Crisp. Period price label at an end flap. Light surface ‘mottling’ mostly on the non-picture surfaces. Light wear.
