Notes
With a vivid, all original red finish, this desirable Land-Rover model was made between 1955-61.
Gloss red finish (no sunfading) is an impressive example. ‘Mersey Tunnel’ lettering is crisp on both sides as are the ‘Police’ labels with a black background on the cab roof.
Bright base and smooth original tyres (two have a light flat spot).
A few little marks to the paint finish.
The hard to find red and yellow plain card box is brightly-coloured and complete. Crisp with resistant end flaps. A little storage grubbiness and a period U.S. price written on an end flap.
