Matchbox No.17 Metropolitan Taxi in maroon, with tan driver figure and grey plastic wheels.

First issued in 1960, this lovely model is in  near mint condition, with a few  chips to the paint, and a little brown paint ot one of the wheels, 9/10. For the best idea see the pics.

The box is original, complete and near mint, 7/10. Lightly creased and with a couple of small tears to one of the end flaps.

From a small collection of vintage Matchbox models.
