Notes
The first we have ever offered for sale in this cream finish (normally in white), with a bright red interior and a black “Saint” matchstick figure transfer on the bonnet. Note the background hue to the transfer is a pale honey shade too (and so deeper than unusual).
This first issue version is in very close to mint condition with a couple of dabs of factory silver on the boot edge and also one dot of factory silver above the radiator. The occasional tiny mark to this most unforgiving of paint finishes. Jewelled headlights, perfect suspension on shaped spun wheels, driver. As-new original tyres. All original throughout.
The blue and yellow picture box has vibrant colours and quite a crisp feel. Light wear with a very small tear to the tuck-in section of one large end flap. Very small tear emanating from an end flap too. Period dollar price label.
