Notes
This is the most difficult version to source (allowing for the South African issues of course), and was made towards the end of a long production run. This example is in close to mint condition with a distinctive light blue original finish, deeper blue plastic wheels and the correct matte baseplate.
Few little marks to the paint finish at a side raised body line. Couple of tiny marks besides.
The correct later issue pale yellow card box is complete and vividly-coloured with the correct ‘blank’ spot at the end (not an over-sticker as was used with the earlier boxes, but imprinted on to the card). Crisp. Light grubby spot . Pencilled ‘500’ at an end flap.
