In unused, virtually mint condition!
Model functions perfectly.
Just the occasional negligible mark and minor age transparency to the bonnet label.
The original Waverley ring is included too (does not appear to have ever been removed from the plinth and has much of the gold hued remaining (unusually).
The monochrome base issue card plinth is clean and bright, with just one tiny wheel slot tear and a couple of light creases. Colourful graphics.
Reverse:
The outer box is fresh and bright. Tiny wear only. Crisp feel.
