The colourfully-illustrated detailed card plinth on which each car sits is a decorative backdrop for the models and adds to the appeal. Original card packing support piece in the base of the plinth. No wheel slot tears. Front edge storage ‘wrinkle’ and note that one of the tiny internal end flaps at each side of the plinth is detached but present.
Lots of relevant printed information on the reverse.
