A very good and completely original model from the 1956 launch. In grey, this is the non-Mechanical edition and slightly unusual with distinctly blue tinted windows.
The silver paintwork is particularly nice with none of the usual chips to the bumpers. The grey paintwork is excellent with just two flaws, a chip on the roof and a small area of corrosion above the nearside central window pillar.
The wheels and tyres are clean and original with a clean base showing only very minor signs of age.
This model has a really good original box - the first blue type with all its flaps intact and no damage, just a little wear to the edges. One end has a reverse print of the end flap and one inner flap on the inside, the result of the card being placed on another which was still wet during printing. There is a 75 cent price in biro at one end so this model has travelled some distance in its life!
