Notes

Issued between 1965-68, this is a rare find!
It comprises:

1) D240 Cooper Racing Car

2) D241 Lotus Racing Car

3) D242 Ferrari Racing Car

4) D243 B.R.M.Racing Car

The racing cars are in very near mint condition; occasional little (must be) factory mark and transfer edge nibble. Each racing car has spun wheels, intact screen, drivers with silver helmets.

All models are still fixed to the delightful, virtually pristine decorative card insert with racetrack scene and four original figures.

Turn the card insert upside down and you will see that all four cars have the plastic fixing pieces and original elastic bands fixing them to the inner. Presumed never removed from the box.

The comparatively flimsy card and cellophane window box is complete and intact, if rather grubby in places now.
Some inevitable wear to a box comprising of an expanse of cellophane! Original cellophane is present but two areas have additional clear tape which have been applied at some time to prevent any further tearing. Traces of the original tape keeping the box end flaps closed may be seen. Card is strongly-coloured and notably intact. Some age grubbiness and light handling wear. Plain white Dinky label at an end flap is complete. Period penned price on an end flap and light water staining nearby.
