2) Emma Peel’s Lotus Elan S2 is in sparkling white finish. Close to mint with a few small marks at some exposed edges. Suspension on shaped spun wheels. Fine original tyres. Original figure of Emma Peel.

Three plastic umbrellas (all originals).
Inner card plinth is bright and crisp, with vivid illustrations. Very close to pristine.
