Notes
Re-numbered from 25Y in 1954, this early issue has a vivid red original finish, rare with blue ridged wheels, bright tinplate screen in black and metal steering wheel, spare wheel. Hard to imagine better!
In glowing, so close to mint condition, there are a couple of the tiniest marks and a small area of rust on the matt baseplate.
The correct later card box has the blue-wheeled version pictured:
Slight crease on this dual-numbered box. Crisp clean card. Correct colour spot.
From an exacting collector who has put together a wonderful collection over decades, painstakingly upgrading until he had the best example of each model.
