Front destination board complete. ‘Mitcham’ destination at the rear (near complete) with registration LBL 174.
Working clockwork function. Seating. Shiny wheels. Smooth original black tyres are well-shaped. One has some crazing and one has a part-split. Shiny radiator and headlight assembly generally (minor tarnishing).
