Description
Supplied from the wonderful extensive ‘Welsh’ collection.
This is a Ford Forder in the hardest to find colour of all over yellow with the early small writing base.
A cherished model in it’s own right, this immaculate example comes with a 170 early box with factory applied yellow end spots.
This must have been a transitional model held in stock and put not in the first dual numbered box but the second issue 170 box which has small black ovals with the white number 170.
This is the only example I have seen like this.
Tested by ultra violet light and no touch-ups noted.

Excellent Plus - Minor edge wear, starter tears or heavy pricing. Could also be graffiti or tape residue, but good overall.
(All items graded out of 5)
Box Condition
A sound early 170 box with small black number ovals to the sides. So unusual to see the yellow factory spots applied to each end and they appear similar ageing as the box. A small tear only and some general age wear/colouring for a 70 year old box.
