Notes
Issued during 1969, this is an early Routemaster Bus with all the nice details not present in the later issues. Promotional ’Church’s Shoes’ transfers on both sides
Detailed transfers head-on too:
Suspension is fine on shaped spun wheels.
Barely a mark on this model – just the occasional little rub/mark at an exposed edge. Notably, the ribbed roof is unblemished and the original paint finish is vibrant and gleaming.
The colourful card pictorial box is complete, clean and vividly-coloured. A little rubbing/wear at corners and some light creasing besides. Shopkeeper’s penned price of 8/11 on one side.
Not an easy find!
