20 mph sign is in place on the hinged rear ramp. Chip to the rear door handle, which is also at an angle. Few little marks besides. Original black tyres (very light flat spot to one).
The lighter blue ‘Dinky toys’ picture box is a scarce find. Complete, fresh-looking and bright, with only the most minor wear.
