One of the second batch of saloons from early 1957 but with just a short life as the Mechanical versions weren’t made after 1959.
In a creamy pale yellow, the car is cheery enough and, apart from a few small chips, the paint has survived very well. The windows are clear and the wheels and tyres good. The Mechanical element works too so I am very pleased to have found this.
These are a lot scarcer than you might imagine. Furthermore there are two variations: this one has the text 'MADE IN GT. BRITAIN' across the front axle. The other one has 'PATENT PENDING'. I don't know which came first. Both are black bases with corresponding differences to the text running lengthways.
This example is a distinctly pale shade than others I have had.
