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 are well-shaped.
In virtually mint state.
None of the usual rubbing to the roof.
The box is complete, clean and bright. Crisp, with lots of end flap spring. Correct two-tone colour spot. Tiny wear and a small stain.
