Bright silver base and as-new original tyres with "Corgi Toys’ embossed. Detailed cast wheels.
Couple of little chips to the top of the camera and minor tarnishing to one small area of the rear bumper. Appears to have been rarely off the intact, complete polystyrene base.
Slightly later version with a plain orange card backdrop inside the box. Complete, fresh and bright. This set includes the race leader on his bicycle in his yellow jersey.
The header card window box is colourful with an attractive header card scene. Barley a crease at header card reverse where it joins the main body of the box.
