Notes
A beauty!
Early issue ( 1958-59).
This example in pale grey with a red flash is in superb unplayed with condition with a gleaming paint finish. Just a little paint bubble ( factory, so as-made) , otherwise difficult to fault. Most would say mint.
A little more difficult find than the version with the red roof.
Bright baseplate and as-new original fine tread tyres.
The yellow picture box is complete and strongly-coloured, with the correct colour spot at the end flaps. A little handling wear (small seam tear and a little, partial thickness storage tear on the top surface).
