But not repainted or touched up. Car still has its front/rear screens... Gorgeous litho printed interior, still with steering wheel. Appears to have all its chrome body trim... Front grill a bumper bullets..

Rear has retained its easily lost boot/trunk lid, which still displays the nice winged Gama emblem. All hubcaps and white wall tyres.

Base plate is in great condition, rot free with only minor marks. Chrome has some expected tarnish, but displays fine without any silver over painting on bumpers! ORIGINALLY THIS RARE BATTERY OPERATED VERSION HAD A SMALL PALM SIZE REMOTE FORWARD/REVERSE CONTROL...

CONNECTED BY A CORD PASSING THROUGH A SMALL ROOF OPENING..... This has now been replaced with a three-position switch in the original roof opening (see images).

The car body on the battery versions is easily removed from base plate, with the only tabs being at the front, and these have been left slightly open for repeated base removal as required to remove body from base... Simply undo two rear screws first, then slide base forward to release all side interlocking fastenings.
