Notes
This collector wanted only the best examples in his collection ? always a discerning buyer of the finest examples he could find. After over 25 years, he has now decided to part with items from his own extensive collection.
This is one of them.
This model has a lustrous green and black finish, with shining shaped spun hubs. Issued between 1959-60. This version does not have front number plate casting (issued with or without).

Shiny base and the original tyres run well.

Little marking at roof edge. Occasional little dot besides. Faintest of roof rubs (only visible under the strongest light).
The harder to find, late issue, lighter yellow pictorial box is fresh and bright!
Resistant end flaps show that this box has been opened rarely. Correct colour spot. One of the small end flaps has a tear. Period pencilled price at an end flap. Small, light crease.
