GENERAL INFO

A very interesting model for box collectors, the 4C Triumph Motorcycle and sidecar came in B, C and D boxes.

To start with, the model was released in two different B5 boxes which have different end flaps, but always the mention “NEW MODEL”. Each also have a different picture on the front and back. The first has the model in red, with clear wires on the wheels and the model leaning towards its back, combined with model numbers close to the model. The other variation looks a bit bigger and still has the model in red, but dark wires on the wheels and more visible lines underneath those wheels. The model is higher and not leaning and model numbers are a bit smaller and away from model. The description of the model is also different on the end flaps: “Triumph – Sidecar 110” on the first, and “Triumph 110 and Sidecar” on the second.

The C box essentially repeat the same last B5 box.

The D1 box shows the model in blue, just like the D2 box which came in three different top/bottom color schemes.

RARITY

The B boxes are less common, especially the very first one. The C box, like any of this type, is also desirable.
