Notes
An early 156 issue in fine all original condition with a shining rich cream finish, CREAM ridged wheels, and version with Rover cast in to the underside of the roof. Bright base and smooth-running original tyres.
Lightly-tarnished area on the base.
A virtually mint paint finish.
The scarce transition box which shows both the early 140B numbering and 156 was issued during 1954. Notably, this example has the correct cream colour spot, too. Tiny wear. Period penned price on an end flap.
