Notes
Issued between 1959-61, this Jaguar Fire Service car is a very scarce transition issue has a vibrant original scarlet paint finish with a fine gloss and later shaped spun wheels. ( The vast majority of shaped spun wheel issues are in the deeper red finish, not the scarlet/ orange-red finish).
Virtually complete-complete detailed transfers on both sides. Intact original aerial and fire labels on the roof sign.
Grey base and well-shaped original tyres.
Occasional very small mark to the paint finish.
The complete blue and yellow picture box has a crisp feel, showing minimal handling. Little wear.
