Gunthermann Blue Bird Land Speed Record Car 1931 Tin Germany Rare Tinplate Toy

On offer here is my rare, early speed record car. SUPERB REPRESENTATION OF MALCOLM CAMPBELL'S LEGENDARY LAND SPEED RECORD CAR. HUGE SIZE AT SOME 20 INCHES........ WIND UP MECHANISM, WITH BRAKE LEVER.

REALLY GREAT DESIGN, WITH THE LIFE LIKE AERODYNAMIC WHEEL SPATS... RETAINS ALL THE ORIGINAL EMBLEMS......

ALL FOUR ORIGINAL DISC WHEELS. DRIVER FIGURE IS A VINTAGE TINPLATE PIECE, FROM ANOTHER PERIOD GERMAN RACER......

FITS INTO ORIGINAL TAB SLOTS (I'VE LEFT THEM OPEN FOR QUICK /EASY REMOVAL). CAR LOOKS VERY NICE ON SHELF... THE BLUE FINISH REMAINS BRIGHT;WITH A CONTRASTING PINSTRIPE DETAILING IN YELLOW & WHITE. AFTER NEARLY 90 YEARS, BLUEBIRD SHOWS SOME EXPECTED AGE/PLAY WEAR.... WITH ODD SCUFF, SCRATCH, MARK, EDGE WEAR, DIMPLE AND METAL CREASING NOTICEABLE AT FRONT UNDERSIDE RADIATOR...

ONE OF THE TABS APPEARS WORN AWAY, WITH THE OTHER PRESENT THOUGH SOMETIMES IT SLIPS INSIDE IT'S SLOT. WITH A CENTRAL BASE PLATE DESIGN OPENING, PROVIDING ACCESS TO PUSH OUT A FEW IMPERFECTIONS IF DESIRED. THE OLD FINISH WITH THE ODD TOUCH UP IN SPOTS/LOWER REAR LEFT MOST POSSIBLY FROM FACTORY ASSEMBLY? CAR SHOWS IN GREAT RUST FREE STATE.

THE HEAVY SPRING MECHANISM IS INTACT AND WITH A SUITABLY LARGE KEY, WINDS UP FINE... BLUE BIRD WILL TRAVEL FORWARD FINE... Has bit wheel play/rubbing, could perhaps benefit from some slight adjustment of wheel spat position etc..

PLEASE TRY CLICKING ON THE FOLLOWING VIDEO LINK. VERY DESIRABLE GERMAN TIN TOY. NOT ONE OF THE MODERN REPRODUCTIONS. HIGH QUALITY GUNTHERMANN TIN TOY...... All offers welcome & considered. I've added all the images i can, in differing light, to hopefully show the honest/accurate condition...
