Notes
Issued between 1959-62, this Austin car has a vibrant original red and black finish finish, and flat spun wheels.
A note from the original owner:
“Rare in red and black. When the 216M models were discontinued in 1959, some left-over painted body shells were fitted with standard 216 bases, put in standard 216 boxes and sold abroad. This one was purchased from France”.
None of the usual chipping or rubbing on the roof. Bright baseplate has a tiny tarnished area. Original tyres look as-new.
Note the paint blistering at one side, however. Few tiny marks besides.
The box is complete, clean and crisp. Creasing and light wear.
A difficult find.
