This is a really nice Gift Set 40 featuring an original white Lotus Elan and an original red Bentley with steel wheels. The Bentley is in excellent condition with an original Steed character at the wheel. The Lotus is also an excellent original with an original Emma Peel character. I have included the correct number plates and can fit them to the Lotus if required. The brollies are replacements, however not at all easy to distinguish. The box is one of the best reproductions I have found, using the right weight and colour of card as well as being professionally printed and folded, scored and glued. Most I see from other suppliers are too bright or just badly printed or constructed, usually both. All in all, this is the best set I have had for a long time (other than a totally original one!) with all original components other than the brollies and box. It is a particularly excellent example of this set for a collection and display. The Lotus is especially hard to find now with such good paintwork and clear screen and good suspension. The red Bentley is more common but often models will have replacement screens, dashboards or broken horn at the side and chips to the mudguards. This set is actually in my own collection as it is the best I expect to find for a while so it is not to be sold cheaply. I specialise in The Avengers sets and material and have several alternative sets in reproduction boxes also available.
