This is a really nice Gift Set 40 featuring an original white Lotus Elan and an original red Bentley with bright gold wheels. It is difficult to find examples like this now as most fade to more of a steel colour. The Bentley is in excellent condition with an original Steed character at the wheel. It has a replacement rear hood. The Lotus is all original but with some chips to the paintwork and the suspension is not that great, quite hard at the rear, although that is not something anyone would notice on display. I will supply the correct number plates. Mrs Peel is a replacement character, as are the brollies, 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. A particularly nice example of this set for a collection and display. I specialise in The Avengers sets and material and have several alternative sets in reproduction boxes also available.
