One of my favourites...made in England after WW2. This is from the 40 series and is--

Nice find Amit. You do end up with unique vintage stuff, priceless. I like the chauffeur that comes along with it. The car would do well with a better paint & chrome resto. BTW was there a front LHS door or is it suppose to be open?

Really cool. Congrats Amit for such a priceless possession. It would be gr8 if you get a paint job done as Siddvi suggested.

So cute...like a bite-size bitta 50s Londres.

Amit,

Very nice model you have got, please get the paint sorted out immediately. I can do a friendly paint job if you send the model to me.

@Siddvi: The door was never there, there used to be a plastic sheet tough.

Cool vintage toy!These must be worth a lot these days.I like the black and white combination.Makes the car look like it's dressed in a tuxedo.
