Model condition - pretty much mint perfect, there are one or two very tiny specks to be found in the usual corner/edge spots, but overall this is an outstanding example of this fantastic 1960s heavyweight truck, with the rare silver shaped wheel hubs, superb 9.5/10
Inner display condition - the base card with the wheels slots is showing some wear and tear from the weight of the model, see photos; the upright motorway interchange backdrop is crisp and perfect, with both the two side flaps in place; everything is complete 8.5/10
Box condition - the outer box has kept its shape thanks to the inner protective card, although showing some wear on the corners and end flaps edges, plus a couple of brown ageing spots; overall it is crisp, clean and bright, all flaps and tabs etc present and correct 8.5/10
Extras - original inner card packing is present and correct, as is the original mechanic figure, making this great set complete 10/10
