A lovely example of this much sought-after model with a scarce, hard-to-find original later box in pretty good condition.
All entirely original. This is the later version with the Tubby Bear in the boot. The marks shown on the bonnet have now been cleaned so please do not worry about these being wear or damage. The paint is bright and clean and the chrome all intact, with both headlamps firmly in place.
Noddy has a complete hat, as does Big Ears and all the characters are clean and free of grime that many accumulate. Basically I doubt that this has ever been played with.
Just removing this from the box is inclined to tear the card and this has happened here too, with tears at the top right and bottom right. I think these could actually be repaired quite easily without the box losing any visual originality but I leave that to a buyer's choice. The cellophane is original and almost entirely intact, just one small area torn at the top inside. again, not easy to see and probably easy enough to repair too.
The card itself is clean and bright and fresh, not faded at all and the inside has a nice display.
