Notes
First issue model introduced in 1965 in white, with a bright red interior and a black “Saint” matchstick figure transfer on the bonnet. The car is in very close to mint condition. Displays superbly with a crisp white paint finish, and a complete “Saint” matchstick figure on the bonnet. Jewelled headlights, perfect suspension on shaped spun wheels, driver. As-new original tyres. All original throughout.
Little bumper over-rider marks and a light surface mark on the roof (which may be possible to clean off). Small as-made paint bubble on the boot and a little mark or two besides.
The blue and yellow picture box is clean, crisp and complete. Note the small area of surface loss at an end flap where a price label has been removed at some time.
