Notes
Issued between 1954-60, this Standard Vanguard car has a rich mid-blue finish with cream hubs, closed in rear wheel spats. This model presents well with its classic lines:
Bright baseplate and well-shaped smooth tyres.
Couple of stray flicks of factory silver on one front door.
Barely a mark besides.
Later baseplate style with smaller print.
The picture box is complete and bright with a crisp feel. ‘In the print’ correct colour spot at the end flap, too. Minimal wear. Resistant end flaps show this bx has been opened rarely.
For information only, please compare this model on the right when set alongside the lighter mid-blue version with fawn wheels:
