Notes
Issued between 1956-60 and one of the much sought-after range of Sports and Racing cars, this example is in very near mint condition with a pleasing lustre to the all original finish.
Couple of very minor marks to the paint finish.
Lovely sheen to the deep green finish, racing number ‘8’ is complete on the bonnet. Note the loss to one of the rear racing numbers in particular – caused by the raised cast details we expect. Black spoked wheels and fine as-new original tyres. Cream base.
The highly-evocative pictorial box has bright colours on clean, crisp card. Light wear only. Little penned cross at an end flap.
Vibrant colours on crisp card. Period price at an end flap. Small scuff.
Easy to see why these racing cars are eagerly sought by collectors!
