GENERAL INFO

The 7A was available in C, D and E boxes, like the rest of the King Size models released in 1961. Of course, no C1 sub-type exists, so only C2 boxes can be found. They show the yellow model with white tires.

The D box is a very fine artwork, depicting the yellow model with black tires, silver metal hubs and red engine.

The E1 box displays the model in a quarry as workers are working on and around it.

RARITY

The E box is a bit harder to find than C and D type ones.
