Product Description
This is an authentic Trax die-cast 1:43 model from 'The Originals' Australian Motoring Legends collection, celebrating the golden age of Australian motorsport. The model faithfully reproduces the iconic 1967 Bathurst-entered Ford XR Falcon, finished in classic white with period-correct racing livery including the number 53 and driver designation 'D'.

Historical Significance
1967 was one of the most controversial years in Bathurst racing history, particularly for the Georghegan brothers' entry. After receiving the chequered flag, the race was controversially taken from them following a lap counting mistake. This model commemorates that pivotal moment in Australian racing folklore.

Condition & Packaging
The model remains sealed in its original Trax packaging, presented in the distinctive 'The Originals' black presentation box with gold branding. The box shows age-appropriate wear consistent with storage but the model itself is pristine and unhandled. Original factory seals intact.

About This Collection
Trax's 'Australian Motoring Legends' series celebrates the golden age of Australian motoring that began in 1948 with the launch of the first truly Australian car. The collection honours the original designs unique to Australia—from FJs to Falcons, Valiants and the P76—vehicles that became part of the colour and history of family life, bush culture, city streets, and the racetrack. These models represent an important chapter in Australian automotive heritage.

Collector Information
This is a collectible die-cast model, not a toy. Suitable for adult collectors and enthusiasts of Australian motorsport history. The 1967 Bathurst entry is particularly sought after due to its controversial race outcome and significance in Bathurst 1000 history.

Sold as described. Inspection recommended prior to bidding for serious collectors. Sealed condition means contents have not been verified but packaging integrity is excellent.
