Notes
We are delighted to offer this scarce original Gift Set for sale.
It comprises:
First issue with a black and white Renault in all original condition with delicate labels. Minor wear to lower corners of the Paramount transfers on the roof. Very minor wear to bonnet transfer. Complete with spare wheel under the bonnet. Driver, camera man and camera.
With original elastic bands in place.
Later issues would have a plain orange sleeve insert, but this slightly earlier issue has the attractive tree-lined backdrop with the little clear blister attached, containing the race leader on his bicycle in his yellow jersey.
Very fine condition!
Polystyrene plinth is clean, fresh and bright.
The header card window box is complete and bright with original cellophane (tiny pinprick). Light crease on the card reverse where it joins the main body of the box. Light wear/grubbiness.
