The over-flashed 328 Hillman Imp box is complete and bright with a complete over-flash label with blue print.
One end of the box has never been opened so preserving the overflash label (quite often the flash label is slit to open the end of the box it covers – but not in this case). Light wear includes a little age transparency. A little wear besides.
