Notes
Issued between 1957-62, this model is in sparkling original condition with a delicate pale green finish and a bright scarlet red roof only. (More often found with red window posts too). Shaped spun wheels (note that one wheel has been factory applied with the flat spun section showing). Delightful original rear lights and fine original silver bumpers, radiator and headlights. Beautiful on display! Baseplate design shows that this model was also available as a mechanical version.
Beautiful day-one colours and a superlative lustre. Not even a suggestion of a roof rub!
Mere dot or two if you really inspect minutely. Little factory retouch on a front wing.
The blue and yellow pictorial box is complete, clean and bright. No tears. Neatly written period date on the inside of a large end flap ‘20 June 1961’i. Minor age/handling wear only.
