Notes
This Sports Boat has a bright red and fawn finish, with a deep orange trailer which is very close to mint. Note that this late issue has just two black wheels on the trailer (not three as is the case with the earlier issues). The boat has a complete and intact windscreen and steering wheel.
If you are looking to fault it, then you could note a few tarnished spots on the trailer axle.
The lighter yellow picture is complete and bright, with the serrated tab still present and firmly attached. Tiny tear to the tuck-in part of one large end flap (easy to overlook!).
A very difficult variation to find.
