Issued between 1958 and 1959 and referenced in the Tri-Ang catalogs in both years as R27B Vista Dome Coach. The coach roof is has a grey/blue plastic slightly different to the body. Some models were issued with shading variations between the roof and body.

Marked as Made in Australia by Moldex later issues have a change to Made in Aust. & N.Z. This stamping helps with guiding the manufacture period.

Unboxed and showing some signs of play-wear. Minimal scratches to the blue plastic. Yellow infill letters are rubbed on one side, numbers and stripes good condition.

Vista Dome clear plastic is good and not cracked or scratched. Overall a nice model with little obvious use.
