What to check on the car
This police livery differs from the earlier Sheriff 701 and Police 123 tampo schemes. Check the roof and door graphics, and keep the Action Pack packaging when available.
- Read the side lettering and door numbers without relying on paint color alone.
- Check the roof tampo, window tint, interior and wheel style against the release description.
- Turn the car over and record the base text, country and casting construction.
- Keep the original card or set packaging with the car; it can resolve series questions that a loose casting cannot.
