Notes
1:18th scale diecast Vanwall Racing Car is a rare find, especially with its colourfully illustrated card box.
Friction drive model with a glossy green finish, racing driver and complete racing number ‘18’ labels (a little light creasing/wear). Silver cast wheels with spokes detail, well-shaped original tyres. Occasional little mark to the paint finish.
For comparison only, please see the model placed alongside a later Corgi issue.
The colourful card box has strong colours and no graffiti. However, there are two storage punctures and one end flap is missing.
