The cab of the car features fine-quality, bevelled glass windows, windscreen, and polished bronze door handles. Hinges open to reveal space for a good quantity of cigars (not included), with a smaller compartment under the bonnet. With original retailer's label to the underside, this piece was made with the finest attention to detail. Italian, circa 1930s.

Size: 18 x 9.5 x 8.5 in. (46 x 24 x 22 cm).
