Notes
A collection some 20 years in the making. Renos Louka from Virginia Water, Surrey specialised in Film & TV models. His interest was due to his occupation of supplying camera and lighting equipment to the film, TV and broadcast industry.
Issued between 1971-72, this Pontiac Parisienne model Police Car is finished in crisp white with a black textured roof and the fresh original POLICE labels are complete ( save for a small top edge scuff to one).
Notably complete with both chromed aerials ( we are reluctant to retract them now since this is the way they so often break), siren and roof light. Complete number plates front and rear. Bright chrome wing mirrors.
Hard to find a mark, this example looks unused. Very minor chrome loss at aerials.
The pictorial box is complete and very bright. Crisp card. Little storage crumpling and a small area of surface loss ( although not immediately obvious – since it occurs on the white background on one picture face). Partial thumb tear at an small end flap seam.
