Notes
Issued between 1954-60, this Standard Vanguard car has a bright mid-blue finish with cream hubs, closed in rear wheel spats. This model presents well with its classic lines:
Bright baseplate (with period label) and a difficult find with treaded tyres.
A little very minor discolouration may be seen under minute scrutiny. Couple of little dark dots.
The box is extremely fresh and vividly-coloured with a day-one crisp feel. Correct colour spot at the end flap, too. Few tiny surface flecks and period pencilled writing on the top surface.
