Notes
Issued between 1956-59, this model has a very fresh and vibrant deep green and yellow finish with yellow wheels, detailed black interior, complete with taxi driver. Matt black base.
Just one little mark to the top edge of the ‘Taxi’ sign on the roof and another at a wheel arch. Occasional minor dot besides. Wonderful display piece with a fine lustre to the all original paint finish.
The card pictorial box looks very bright, crisp and fresh with the correct two-colour spot at the end flaps. No graffiti. Small edge tear and minor shelf grubbiness.
