Notes
What an exceptional set this is! This is a mint, all original and complete example; the first issue version with the rare green Bentley.
The set comprises:
1) John Steed’s Bentley in green and black finish, correct for this set with red metal wire wheels. Complete with all parts, and including the figure of John Steed at the wheel. Mint condition, although upon the most careful scrutiny, you may see a few (probably as-made) dots on a running board edge. We note too that there is a stray flick of factory dark bronze at the rear edge of a running board (dark bronze colour is used on the underside of the chassis).
2) Emma Peel’s Lotus Elan S2 is in sparkling white finish. Suspension on shaped spun wheels. Original figure of Emma Peel. Mint condition.
Three plastic umbrellas which are nearly always missing!
Inner card plinth is bright and complete and vividly-coloured. Some minor aruffling, but no tears. Three plastic umbrellas too!
The colourful card outer box is an impressive example – so hard to find this fine! Day-one bright graphics on colourful, crisp, undamaged card. No tears. No graffiti.
Complete with the original card wrap-around piece
A fine and scarce set which is difficult to find authentic these days. A superb investment piece!
Surely one of the best surviving examples.
