Model functions perfectly.
Little casting mark on the passenger door. Few tiny rubs besides.
The original Waverley ring is included – very bright and fresh too, with minimal rubbing at the sides caused by contact with the card plinth.
The colourful card plinth is clean and bright, with just a little wear on one wheel slot and at the place where the ring is secured. Minor handling wear only.
