Notes
Issued in various colour finishes, this version is finished in deep brownish-maroon with matching wheels. A gleaming and lustrous finish on this model issued during 1954 (marking the change from the earlier numbering 30J).
Bright base and well-shaped original smooth tyres.
Occasional little mark to the finish. Under minute scrutiny one will find a few tiny dot retouches when examined under magnification.
The correctly-spotted, dual-numbered picture box is complete and deeply-coloured, with no graffiti. Minor age/handling wear and a small seam tear. Early issue so product number is contained within a black (not red) oval.
