This is the model that really set the standards in 1961, with so many new features that had not been seen before. This was the first with jewelled headlamps, jewelled rear lights too, the first with chrome-plated fittings, the first with the superbly engineered steering system and even the first with a spare wheel!
There are essentially two colours available: a black and grey and a very pale green or cream and olive green. This is the olive green and pale apple-cream colour. A gold edition was made for Gift Set 20.
This is in excellent condition with only tiny marks on the roof and rear wing. There is very slight loss of chrome on the rear over-riders and a tyre has a crack. The all-important emblem is intact and fully chromed, the windows are clean and clear and the wheel shiny. There is, of course, a good spare in the boot too. It comes with an excellent original and bright box that is bright and firm and with minimal signs of wear.
I will include a spare new tyre but personally prefer this as it stands as the crack is barely noticeable on display.
