This has always been one of my favourite models, with its lovely accurate steering and smart appearance.
The model came in three colours: cerise, cream and this black, The black seems to have been the least common of the three. This model is often confused with a slightly revised edition, numbered 253, which did not have steering, had a different boot line and an added quarter light.
Many examples have now lost the bonnet emblem but this one is intact. the paintwork is very good, just a few marks that show up on this colour, and it has good clean and undamaged windows and nice wheels. There is a spare wheel in the boot too, something that often goes missing!
A nice example of this model.
