Notes
Rare to come to the market place. This is the Dutch promotional issue with complete and crisp ‘RIJKSPOLITIE’ bonnet and boot transfer. This Zephyr model is finished in white, with a vivid red interior, an intact aerial and the early (small) blue light on the roof. Shaped spun wheels and a grey baseplate. Suspension on all four wheels. Fine, as-new tyres. Silver trim.Hard to find a mark to the paint finish, although minute inspection finds a few extra careful dabs of white paint.
The box is clean, crisp, bright and complete. No tears. Light handling age wear. Note the ‘RIJKSPOLITIE’ stamped at both end flaps.
