Notes
A very close to mint example of this desirable Dinky car which is in all original gleaming bright condition. Colours are day-one vivid with no sunfading whatsoever.
One little mark on the roof and a little minor rubbing at some side raised body lines due to box contact. Stray couple of dots of factory silver at a front wing and a dot at a bonnet detail. Extremely fine sheen to the original finish. Bright base and metal parts generally.
The box is complete with all end flaps. Quite clean and bright. Some rubbing at end flap edges and some card edges. Two tone colour spot is for the grey and yellow issue also pictured on the box.
Difficult issue to find.
