Notes
Issued between 1956-59, this model has a very fresh and vibrant deep green and yellow finish with yellow wheels, detailed interior, complete with taxi driver. Tempted to call this example mint, since it has just a couple of the tiniest marks to the tip of the ‘Taxi’ sign on the roof, otherwise hard to fault!



The card pictorial box looks very bright and fresh with the correct colour spot at the end flaps and no graffiti:

A little tear at an end flap hinge, otherwise generally crisp card with minimal wear.
