HOWEVER, WHEN THE MUSEUM WENT THROUGH A MODERNISATION THIS FIESTA WAS NO LONGER TO BE PART OF THEIR SHOWCASE. THIS TIME WARP FIESTA WAS THEN REMOVED FROM THE MUSEUM AND FORMED PART OF A PRIVATE COLLECTION.

IT HAS TWO KEYS AND STARTS ON THE BUTTON. THIS HAS BEEN PART OF OUR OWN PRIVATE COLLECTION FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS AND IS ONLY BEING SOLD AS THE COLLECTION IS BEING SCALED BACK.”
