M214
Tri-Ang Minic 214 Routemaster Bus. Rare promotional item, in special 'Harlequin' box. Near mint/boxed. Exceptional cache of Minic models from a lifelong collector in Devon.
Notes
He has been collecting as long as he can remember and whenever he feels like thinning out his collection, we are treated to some wonderful items for the website!
A rare item, especially in this close to mint and boxed condition.
Finished in brightest red, with shiny metal parts and wonderfully detailed transfers (small lower edge transfer loss at the sides).
A friction drive model with intact and complete destination board front and rear, as well as a charming advertisement for ‘The Camera People’ based in Bond Street! Lovely detailed interior with green painted wooden seating and a cream tinplate staircase.
Closest inspection will find the occasional small mark & touch-in.
The distinctive ‘harlequin’ patterned card box is brightly-coloured and complete with the Minic label at the ends (although age-discoloured). A little wear commensurate with age, including a little end storage crumple.
