Original grey tyres (occasional lightest flat spot) and spare still stowed.
The baseplate is bright and untarnished. No trace of sunfading either.
Tiny mark at a rear corner edge and a couple of tiny marks besides.
Minute inspection finds one tiny touch-in at a wheel arch and a mere dot on the roof back.
The early deep blue card box with a paper label is complete and bright. Light wear. A little piece of old tape at two corners of the lower box (presumably to strengthen and to prevent splitting).
