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. There is a slight fading of the red paint in some areas on the bonnet but there is no touch-in work and it is original, including the rear hood and screen which often get replaced these days. The Lotus is all original. It has a few chips to the paintwork and the suspension is good at the front but quite stiff at the rear although not broken, not that this is something anyone would notice on display. It has 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.
