Notes
Issued between 1961-63, this delightful model has a fresh light blue and cream finish, intact opening deeper cream plastic door, and detailed deep cream interior with cream table top and cream flooring. Version with larger windows. Gloss baseplate. Fine example in all original condition with shiny spun wheels and a grey plastic jockey wheel. Suspension. As-new fine tread original tyres with suspension.
Occasional small mark to the paint finish.
Please take a look at this model on the left when set alongside another example which has narrower windows and a slightly deeper blue and cream finish (for information only).
Bright yellow picture box is complete is very close to old shop stock quality. Crisp. Nice to see that this example comes complete with the original little packing ring which fits over the shiny towing hitch as well as the clear perspex packing strip which is nearly always discarded!
