Rare to come to the market-place, this is an impressive example of the early issue ( 1935) version of the Open Two-Seater Sports Model, finished in original cream and black with shiny black wheels, metal windscreen and dashboard detail, deepest brown seats, generally well-shaped, smooth running white tyres. Black steering wheel. Intact bumper and headlight assembly.
Occasional minor mark only.
Distinctive white lift-off lid box has a very nearly complete paper label with informative detail and image. Very small section of the label missing on one short lid end. Light foxing/wear and a small white label on one side of the lid. No repairs.
