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 late issue has the rear light detail and silver numberplate. Correct with treaded tyres.
Smart, glossy finish.
One tiny mark.
The box with the two-tone model pictured is bright and complete. Correct later two-tone printed colour spot at the end flaps. Crisp. Period pencilled price. Tiny wear only.
Very nice example of the harder to find, later issue – both model and box!
