We start with a box for the 241 Ghia L6.4 but there's no mention of the dog. The illustration of an opening door is a bit strange too but I can only guess that the poor fellow was told that he also had to show the folding seat backrest!
On the other side there are some helpful lines and numbers which he forgot on the first side and a rather more attractive and realistic model illustration.
So far so good. OK. let's add the dog.
Er . . . 8 is a driving mirror as well as a wheel and the suspension is at the back somewhere? (Actually, bearing in mind how many of these models would lose their front suspension after a few weeks, this would have been strangely prescient it it had been deliberate!)
I was hoping to show you a box with the correct 1 -9 special features but none of mine have them right. What they did do, however, was delete the list on the side with the open door. Now, that was actually correct; it just lacked the dog. This is the other side of the second box.
Does anyone have a third correct box? I am sure it must have been changed as these were sold in massive numbers and stayed in production from 1963 to 1969, a long time, the model getting a different base and stronger suspension and, last of all, in 1967 a new shade of yellow-gold with cast wheels. I'm sure it must've had a new box along the way.
