Includes 12 original traffic cones and an Instruction Slip for the Scammell Car Transporter (light staining).

Polystyrene base is complete, but note the glue repairs around the Transporter Section (and the addition of card on the underside to strengthen it.

Lift-off lid has some grubbiness, a few little scissor cuts in one section and another at one short lid end. Wear besides. Note that the original large cellophane window has been replaced at some time. (It is not surprising that such a large expanse of fragile cellophane would suffer damage. The original cellophane is still present, although torn and scratched).
