This 24-inch Super curly was first sold in January 1949, price 19/19/6. This was the last year in which Supers were made in quantity, as the model was replaced by the Nulli Secundus in 1950.
The frame appears to have original livery. Two factors indicate this: the full-chrome ht with windows filled in; the fade-to-gold dt transfer--both of which were typical of 1940s finish.
