Notes
This fine car has a fresh original orange-yellow and cream paint finish with shining shaped spun wheels (more often found with cast wheels):
Shiny base. Well-shaped fine tread tyres.
A few pin prick marks are visible upon closest inspection.
The pictorial box is crisp and vividly-coloured. Correct colour spot. Light wear and a faintly pencilled date (12 6 58) and place of purchase perhaps – we believe it is Reading! Pencilled writing is faint.
