Occasional little mark where metal meets metal (at drop down ramps) and a small mark on the roof.
It comes in the correct early deep blue box with a clean and bright paper label. Vivid, unfaded colours throughout. English only print, specifically made for the U.S. market only.
This version with one long paper label has a few little edge nicks. Complete U.S. Export Label. Stamped ‘980’ at a lid end (later numbering).
