I really like the #71 and whilst your example has the odd paint chip it is a heavy wrecker after! It will still look great on display or better still, get down on the carpet and play with it. :D
I have to confess that at 50 years old, I still get down on the carpet with my son to play with some of my non display Matchbox models and I use it as a great time to educate my son on the different variations.

To be honest - its one of my nicer models! Most of my collection is playworn, simply because i can´t afford mint or near mint ones. And the best joke about it is, everytime i find a nicer example and decide to kick out the beater in my cabinett, its a variation and i keep both :D
