Picked up this at my local booty
There's some tarnishing to some of the gilded features but otherwise ok
Even has the outer packaging certificate and key

Very nice set Reg. Comes from 1984 and was marketed as a Limited Edition of 50,000 sets as the 'Connoisseur Set'. I think this was the set of models that prompted Lesney at the time to say they would buy back these sets implying the owners would benefit from Monetary gain!
