Set also contains the following Regular Wheel Cars (1) 24c Rolls Royce Silver Shadow - metallic red body, matt black base with patent number & tow guide, chrome hubs with black plastic tyres - Near Mint (base paintwork has gone "tacky" during storage) in Near Mint type F2 box; (2) 64b MG 1100 - Excellent Plus with a couple of marks to roof in Near Mint type F2 box in Good Plus box complete with inner card packing & Near Mint instruction booklet (lid sun faded on one side). Please note track sections all state Made in England by Chad Valley not by Lesney being released in 1969 and appears to predate the Matchbox Switch-A-Track as the box draws attention to "Unique Roundabout Switch-Track Mechanism" which clearly wouldn't be the cast if the Matchbox version was already designed & on sale.
