This particular model was sold on ebay by George's Good Stuff in January 2006 for £54.00 in the following condition:
This beautiful Dinky racing car model is showing just one obvious mark to the driver's head, otherwise I can't fault it, it's an absolute beauty, and it comes in its original box which is clean but missing both end flaps.
A marvellous example of one of Dinky’s rarely offered racing car models, not often offered in this fantastic condition, and a great addition to any collection!
