Notes
Sold from a shokeeper’s trade box of 6, this is pleasing, all original example finished in sleek light grey with a vivid red interior, cream steering wheel, metallic blue-grey painted convex wheels. Early issue with a thin windscreen.
Base has a little tarnished area.
Note the small drilled hole in the base – may have been used as a display piece at some time.
Few little edge marks as you might expect.
