Notes
What an exceptional set this is! This is a close-to-mint, all original and complete example; the first issue version with the rare green Bentley.
The set comprises:
1)John Steed’s Bentley in green and black finish, correct for this set with red metal wire wheels. Complete with all parts, and including the figure of John Steed at the wheel. In close to mint condition, with a few little marks on the green wings and one on the red light detail at the rear.
2) Emma Peel’s Lotus Elan S2 is in sparkling white finish. Virtually mint with just a couple of negligible dots. Suspension on shaped spun wheels. Original figure of Emma Peel.
Three plastic umbrellas which are nearly always missing!
Inner card plinth is bright and complete and vividly-coloured. Some minor age grubbiness and a couple of minor tears. A couple of extra holes have been added for the umbrellas.
The colourful card outer box is complete and bright with all end flaps intact and no tears. Minor surface grubbiness. No graffiti, save a shopkeeper’s neatly penned price of 16/6 at an end flap.
A fine and scarce set which is difficult to find authentic these days.
