Crescent 1289
Crescent 1289 Gordini 2.5 Litre Grand Prix Racing Car. Near mint plus/boxed. Fine box! Scarce issue from this respected British model maker. From The 25 Year Collection.
Notes
Issued between 1956-60 and one of the much sought-after range of Sports and Racing cars, this example is in close to mint condition with a pleasing lustre to the all original finish.
Pleasing light blue finish, racing number ‘148’ (little edge nicks), black spoked wheels and fine as-new original tyres. Cream base. Later dab of cream paint on the driver’s head. Occasional negligible mark to the paint finish. 
The highly-evocative pictorial box is a delight!
Vibrant colours on crisp card.‘876’ is neatly penned on one end flap and one box face. 
Easy to see why these racing cars are eagerly sought by collectors!
