Notes

Issued between 1961-64, this is a rare and sought-after Gift Set!

The few examples that come to the market place nearly always have models with a poor, heavily pitted paint finish. The comparatively fragile boxes are particularly susceptible to wear.
This gold-plated set comprises:

1) 224 Bentley Continental, with light surface pitting to the finish. Minor marking. Intact bonnet emblem, red interior, spun wheels. Jewelled front and rear lights. Original, as-new grey tyres. With spare wheel in opening boot.

2) 229 Chevrolet Corvair, with light pitting to the finish, red interior. Smooth-running original tyres.

3) 234 Ford Consul has a gold-plated base. Usual pitting to the surface of the model. Some blistering to the paint in one narrow section low down on one side.Minor blistering to one small section of the bonnet edge. Bonnet is reluctant to open – and we do not want to force it.
