This particular model was sold on ebay by George’s Good Stuff in January 2007 for £390 in the following condition:
The whole beautiful set comes in its absolutely superb complete original slideout tray box – the outer sleeve is showing only light age wear and a little light creasing along one edge, but is overall very crisp, clean, bright and strong and 100 per cent complete and intact, while the inner tray is also superb, again very light wear, very clean, crisp and bright and 100 per cent complete. Neither are showing any tears, graffiti, labels or surface marks – this must be one of the best boxes you’ll find anywhere for such a rare set.
This is the first issue earlier release of two G-6 gift sets issued by Matchbox in the mid 1960s, and this one is the more difficult to find, especially in this condition. All the beautiful models in this superb set are in mint or very near mint condition – this is a set that has been very well cared for during the last 40 years.
Overall a fantastic and very rarely offered gift set – in fact, in six years of trading I’ve not seen a better one anywhere… which is why I bought it for myself! However, it has got to go, so don’t miss out on this extremely rare opportunity to acquire a top quality virtually perfect antique collectible that can only increase in value over the years!
