Notes
This collector wanted only the best examples in his collection ? always a discerning buyer of the finest examples he could find. After over 25 years, he has now decided to part with items from his own extensive collection.
This is one of them.
Guaranteed to brighten up the dullest days! Issued between 1956-61, this version has a wonderfully vibrant primrose yellow finish, cerise interior, early issue example with cream ridged wheels. Complete with detailed driver, steering wheel and intact original windscreen.
Smooth original tyres. One is mis-shapen now and would benefit from a replacement.
In totally authentic original condition (nearly always found with touch-ins) with a shiny baseplate (minor spidering). Few little marks t the paint finish and a small windscreen scratch.
The (correct for this early issue) deep yellow pictorial box is bright and complete, with all end flaps intact and a wonderfully crisp, as-new feel. Resistant end flaps. Correct colour spot. Period price label on the top surface.
