Notes
This most eye-catching Rover Saloon has a lustrous, virtually flawless mid-blue and cream finish. Issued between 1956-59. An outstanding display model:
Note that this example has the large print and 156 on the baseplate.
As fine an example as you will find.
The pictorial box shows is crisp and generally brightly-coloured, although the top surface and one end flap had some pencilled writing which has largely been erased (although leaving this site a little paler). Correct two-colour spot at the end flaps. End flaps are quite difficult to prise open box has rarely been opened.
