The photos are
part of the description. Additional photos can be taken upon request. This is
an adult collectible and not a toy for children because of small parts and
possible lead base paint on very early models. All Lesney products pictured in
this listing are of original production items. Only the model is for sale.
An original box is not included in this offering. The
original boxes are generally auctioned separately in a boxes-only auction.
