Notes

A very sought-after export issue in cream; usual version is in metallic blue. This version was issued just for one year only – 1966, and so is hard to find, particularly in this condition. The model is original, and in near mint condition, with a few little marks at some exposed edges (i.e. bumpers and rear wing tips) Couple of really minute marks besides, including a couple of factory marks at the front of the bonnet. The chrome is bright. The bonnet label is really very fine indeed (so often found discoloured!), this example is very clean, fresh, bright and complete.

Some rubbing to the chrome at the sides of the ring due to box contact.
The inner card stand is clean and fresh with vibrantly-coloured artwork. Very minor wear only.
