Very near mint with the Genuine Track-Rod Steering Label still in place (usually removed), as well as the remains of the yellow bands.
Couple of contact marks at the rear (which you have to look for).

Very near mint with a few little marks at the rear. A little rubbing to the wheel finish caused by the application and removal of the wheel trims. Box is clean and bright and crisp!

Impressive – although close scrutiny reveals some subtle touching up to small contact scuffs to the blue section.
Complete with all original card packing pieces:
