Notes
This is the sought after late two-tone issue made towards the end of the run 1956-59. In authentic and original condition throughout with a pleasing lustre to the paint finish. Correct that this early issue does not have the rear light detail or silver numberplate. Correct smooth tyres.
A few little marks to the paint finish. None of the usual rubbing to the roof.
The box is complete, clean, fresh and bright. Crisp, with lots of end flap spring. Barely any wear. Early cream colour spot. Very nice!
