g) Silverstone Time-Keeper’s Box
Contents are all in pristine condition, obviously complete with the mat, glue, paints and brush.
This is an unused set and has been carefully stored.
The large outer box is clean and bright with a complete paper label (vivid).
Tiny wear only, including a small corner scuff.
The contents are in equally pristine condition – with some of the boxes being opened for the first time for the pictures!
Nevertheless, one may find the occasional as-made pin prick mark. All items come complete with the requisite packing, leaflets where appropriate. However, the Vanwall has an incomplete set of wheel trims (on backing sheet). Over time, the glue attaching them to the backing sheet has dried out, with the result that some have fallen off the sheet and have disappeared. They may even be lurking somewhere in the contents of the box! The kits are all unmade, and in crisp lovely boxes.
What a wonderful set and one of the finest made by Corgi!
