It was issued as a limited edition to commemorate the 1981 Royal Wedding and comes packaged in the original straw coloured box. It is known to have been issued in at least three colours and there may be more than 3 versions as three different colours of text were used on the labels.

Variations/Rarities: The model has the Royal Wedding labels on each side, with yellow "Royal Wedding, 29th July 1981" on two lines on various colour (Red; Green; Blue; Brown) backgrounds and yellow "Prince of Wales Feathers" on one side and "Dragon Badge" on the other side on same varoius colour (Red; Green; Blue; Brown) backgrounds.

Issued in 1981. I do not know how many were issued but the box is marked with it's number.
