This particular model was sold on ebay by George's Good Stuff in November 2006 for £149.99 in the following condition:
This beautiful and very rarely offered Dinky model is in absolutely stunning virtually mint perfect condition - there's a tiny factory casting flaw at the rear of one sill (a tiny metal piece has stuck to the bodywork and been painted over at the factory... this happened all the time back then!) and a similar fleck at the bottom of one of the side 34 decals, but other than that this it is perfect, an absolute beauty, and it comes in its equally superb original yellow card box which is showing only the lightest age wear but is crisp, clean, bright, and 100 per cent complete, and has the correct colour spot on the end flaps - very nice indeed!
These 1950s Dinky sports car models are some of the hardest to track down, and mint examples like this are near impossible to find - don't miss out!
