Notes
1st issue (1955-57) in deep orange-red finish with a dark cream roof, and (notably) shiny plated convex hubs. Smooth white tyres run smoothly. Generally bright baseplate (couple of small tarnished areas), correct with no towing eye, found only in later issues. This impressive car has a gleaming and attractive two-tone paint finish with a bright silver trim.
A little minor rough casting at the sides. Few small marks/tiny dots to the paint finish.
The box is complete , bright and crisp. Light storage crease, small puncture has been pressed back into place. Tiniest edge tear. No graffiti.
