Notes
A fine example in scarce matt white, with red plastic hubs, blue metal driver, matt baseplate. Late issue made between 1960-62 presented in the correct light yellow card picture box.
Obviously never played with, this model is in close to mint condition. It is only upon the closest (and most uncharitable) scrutiny that a few tiny dots may be found (the most unforgiving of colours too).
None of the usual rubbing at raised body lines. Few little dots on the driver’s head and a little chip on his arm.
Correct paler yellow late issue box is quite clean and bright, complete with all end flaps – and no punctures! Tiny wear and tear at end flaps.
Not an easy variation to find!
