Notes
Issued during 1969, this is an early Routemaster Bus with all the nice details not present in the later issues. Promotional ’Church’s Shoes’ transfers on both sides (complete on one side, tiny nick to the other):
All other labels are complete. Suspension is fine on shaped spun wheels.
Minor mark or two to the paint finish. Notably, the ribbed roof is unblemished and the original paint finish is vibrant and gleaming.
The window box is complete, clean and vividly-coloured. Card is so crisp!
Period dollar price label at an end flap. Intact original cellophane.
Gives the impression of old shop stock.
