Notes
Rare to come to the market place.
This is an exceptionally scarce Belgian issue – and an especially welcome sight is the original ‘TOURING SECOURS’ label on the box*!
An early issue Land Rover finished in brilliant yellow, with shiny flat spun wheels. Roof sign has complete ‘RADIO’ lettering and intact ‘TS’ lettering on both sides of the tin tilt. Couple of small transfer edge rubs. Original aerial. Tinplate base is shiny. Front bumper on struts. No interior.*
Shiny flat spun wheels and fine original tyres.
In all original condition with a couple of little marks to the paint on one side of the roof.
It is often the case that a high profile model such as this would be found with subtle (or not) retouches – pleased to say this example is in all original condition.
The pictorial box is complete and bright with original* ‘TOURING SECOURS’ label*. Light wear includes a small part-thickness seam tear to an internal end flap. Residue from a price label on an end flap.
