This beautiful first issue early King Size model is in absolutely stunning mint perfect condition, you won't find better than this anywhere, it's an absolute beauty, and it comes in its equally superb rare original card box which is showing only the lightest age wear, with the remains of a price label on one end flap, overall very crisp, clean and bright and 100 per cent complete - very nice indeed!
Overall a marvellous example of the early 1960s Matchbox King Size models, getting hard to find these days, and a wonderful addition to any collection!
