Notes
Not an easy model to find – and this early example in vivid metallic blue is eagerly sought by collectors. This impressive car has a vibrant, all original lustrous finish, black interior, spoked wheels, opening doors, bonnet (revealing a detailed engine) and boot. Detailed interior has tip-up seats and a rear sliding seat.
In very close to mint condition. Tw small chips bonnet front edge.
The colourful blister box is bright and clean with an intact bubble. Note that one side of the bubble has been re-attached to the card at some time. Little wear to the card at this point. Small area of surface loss besides.

Not often found with the detachable card piece which slides in at the back of the box.
This example comes complete with the stiff perspex packing piece which fits over the model when it is placed within the ‘bubble’.
