Notes
Rare to come to the market place. This is the Dutch promotional issue with complete and vivid ‘POLITIE’ bonnet and boot lettering. This Zephyr model is finished in gloss white, with a vivid red interior, an intact aerial and the early (small) blue light on the roof. Flat spun wheels and a grey baseplate. Suspension on all four wheels (rather firmer on one side). Fine, as-new tyres. Silver trim.
A few bumper chips and very careful inspection finds a few little retouches (requires magnification and strong light to find them).The box is complete and bright with a little end flap seam tear and the occasional minor rub. Period penned price at an end flap.
Comes with the original card packing piece.
