At first, or even second glance this looks like the scarcer silver edition and, indeed, I bought it thinking it was a particularly unusual edition in silver with a lemon interior!
It is, though, as I found out on closer inspection, actually a remarkable example of a cerise model that has had a long exposure to strong sunlight. I have seen pale cerise models but never one as close to silver as this. It is only if you look inside the boot lid, under the bonnet or at the small edges underneath that you'll see the original darker cerise paint.
So it was intended for my collection but is now available to buy and would make an interesting addition to a collection of these models. It is otherwise in very nice condition, with really very little damage to the paintwork other than some chips to the roof.
As is always the case on these models, the suspension is fine and the wheels and tyres are good and original. The four jewels are in place at the front and there is no damage to the windows which are clean and clear. The boot and bonnet open and close in line nicely.
It is difficult to know what to charge for this model as it clearly hasn't got the right finish but it is still all original, in good condition and a bit unusual. I think it's cheap at this price so buy it while you can.
