Notes

This collection is a sheer pleasure to handle, carefully compiled by an exacting collector.

Looking factory-fresh, this Coventry Climax Fork Lift Truck is a beauty!
An extremely fresh and bright example complete with the familiar fawn driver figure (not even a chip on his head).

If you are looking to fault it, you will see a little mark at one side (probably caused during factory assembly) and a near-microscopic mark at an edge.
Hard to downgrade for that.
The lift-off lid card box has day-one fresh ad bright colours, save for the little strip of blue toward the bottom edge of the box base which is not covered by the lid. No rubbing at lid edge corners and no graffiti. Certainly no rips or seam tears/repairs. Remains of an old shop price label at a lid side.
Comes complete with the card packing insert and the little Quality Control Tested tag, too.
Hard to imagine a better example is out there.
