This model came in two colours, a dark metallic grey and this plum red in a non-metallic finish. I had always thought that this shade was the more common. It was the one I had as a child but when I have tried to find a good example it has been very difficult to track down.
Both editions had the same plum red colour plastic hard top when issued but black hard tops have become available since as replacement parts. So I fitted one to this model just as an alternative and it looks good. (Even better on a black model which I also have for sale and can change if preferred).
This model is in very nice condition with really very minor marks to the finish which you have to look carefully to see. Of course, today's cameras bring out every flaw but I am confident that this is one of the better examples around that has not been touched in anywhere.
The screen is undamaged and the interior clean. the tyres look original and the wheels are clean and shiny.
A great opportunity to own this model.
