Summary
The original box for the Porsche 935 'Sonic Controlled' car. The box is made of a removable cardboard lid and a moulded polystyrene base. The lid is printed on all of its outer sides in colour with text and images advertising the product. On the underneath of the lid are printed instructions. The wording is in English, but appears to be a translation (probably from Japanese), as some words are missing in the phrasing, and the grammar is incorrect.
Provenance
Collected and played with by donors’ late son, Marcus, and donated to the Museum of Childhood by Mr and Mrs John Parry in December 2010.
Marks and inscriptions
On the side of the box at the back.: '501 344/ 9901011 /4185/2338'
