This is a nice example of the Rover that came with Gift Sets 41 or 48 on a Transporter. I believe a few also found their way into 252 boxes too but it is a lot harder to find than its steel blue brother.
The maroon paintwork seemed to be very vulnerable and, of course, every little mark tends to show too. This has survived very well indeed with just a few chips on the bumpers and roof edges. Otherwise this is in excellent condition and in the last few weeks I have now had two of the best I've had for many years. The other one was sold almost as soon as it appeared here.
This one also has a crack in the rear window from where the Trans-o-lite system meets the window to one edge but this is not easy to spot from most angles.
The wheels are bright and shiny and the suspension, as always on these models, is sound. the tyres seem to be original and the base is clean and looks like new.
A very nice model if you need one to complete the Gift Set. I shall also be featuring it in a set once I have found another model that is required but for now it is available individually.
