In delightful very close to mint condition; there is barely a mark to the vivid mid-green finish. Racing number ‘17’ ( small dot on the transfers). Couple of the usual little marks to the driver’s head. Issued during 1960-61.
Minor marking on the base.
The deep yellow pictorial box is complete, clean and bright with a very crisp feel. Tiniest puncture.Penned price.
