Another detailed cast model with jewelled headlights, opening doors and bonnet, tipping seats, detailed moulded windows, light blue interior.“POLICE” roof sign, fluorescent strip down both sides and running the length of the Range Rover.

Included are the two original card covers (correct) which fit over the Rover and the Accident Unit:
The inner card stand on which the models sit is in impressive condition – really fresh and bright with detailed colour scene to display the Police vehicles. Couple of small bollard slot tears. Note the bollards on this later issue are red and yellow.
