Notes
Issued during 1954, after its re-numbering from 522. In all original condition, with a fine sheen to the deep maroon and tan finish. More often found with slightly darker wheels (fawn) or indeed cream wheels. The wheels on this model are the exact colour of the tan back. Silver trim. Grey radial tyres (spare stowed).
Presents well with a glossy finish.
Shiny base and spare tyre stowed.
Small area of rough casting on a door.
The dual-numbered striped picture box is complete and bright with no splits or repairs. Red colour spot (nearest to the maroon finish – a maroon colour spot was never used). Box base is strongly-coloured too. Very light wear only.
