This is a scarce set, with only 23,000 said to have been produced. That makes the models comparable to gems like the 351S RAF Land Rover which had a similar quantity and less than half the stated figures for the 242 Fiat Ghia Jolly and 281 Rover 2000TC. It is a really small quantity but prices don't yet seem to reflect this for some reason.

The contents are an odd selection. The only common theme seems to be that each were first issued in mid-1961 and had something that opened. There is a glorious Bentley Continental Sports Saloon, exactly as the 224 model but now in gold-plated finish. Next is a 234 Ford Consul Classic, again as issued and now gold-plated. The third is the 229 Chevrolet Corvair which gets a new red interior and a gold-plated finish.

The gold finish, here much more distinctly gold than silver on one of my other sets, often degrades a lot but on these models the finish is excellent and they all look very attractive.

The Bentley has its spare and has all the red jewels in place at the rear as well as an intact bonnet emblem. 

Each model does have small chips as the photographs will show but these are not all obvious on display. This is the best of three sets that I currently have available. The models making up this set have been improved since first listed - hence the new photographs.

For such scarce items this is a reasonably priced set for your collection or investment.
