Notes
One of the rarest Matchbox 1-75 models. Nearly always found in Primrose Yellow, this is first issue in Flame Red.
In virtually mint condition, with a silver trim, grey metal wheels and a matte black base. Tow hook. Correct without dashboard casting bar.
Issued 1958.
The strongly-coloured, crisp B2 box shows minimal wear. Tiny strip of surface loss on a non-picture side.
We have not seen better!
