Notes
Issued during 1954 under this dual-numbering, this model has a lighter mid-blue finish with fawn hubs, closed in rear wheel spats, silver trim. This model presents well with its classic lines:
Shiny base with small baseplate print and early base style. Fawn (not cream) wheels. Smooth original well-shaped tyres.
Close inspection finds a touch-in on the bonnet and the occasional dot besides.
The dual-numbered box is complete and bright if a touch grubby now. Correct colour spot. Couple of very small internal end flap seam tears. Light age/handling wear.
For information only, please compare this model on the left when set alongside the deeper mid-blue version with cream wheels:
