Notes
A striking Rover Saloon! With a wonderfully vibrant intense violet blue and rich cream finish, this very near mint example was made between 1956-59.
Note that this example has the large print and 156 on the baseplate (somewhat dulled now).
In all original condition, with just the occasional very small mark. Well-shaped smooth black tyres generally (very faint flat spot to one).
The pictorial box presents well with vibrant colours on crisp, clean card. Correct early deep blue colour spot at end flaps. Very light wear only.
A handsome model.
