The set comprises:
1)John Steed’s Bentley in green and black finish, correct for this set with red metal wire wheels. Complete with all parts, and including the figure of John Steed at the wheel. In very close to mint condition (little edge rub). Fine original tyres.
2) Emma Peel’s Lotus Elan S2 is in sparkling white finish. Very near mint with just one little mark on the driver’s door. Suspension on shaped spun wheels. Fine original tyres. Original figure of Emma Peel.

Inner card plinth is bright with vivid illustrations. Couple of small tears at the back edge of the base and one of the pull-tags at the sides is missing now.
The colourful card outer box is complete and bright. Minor age wear and note the label residue and small area of surface loss nearby.
