The lot is completed by a Mercedes-Benz style travel bag in black synthetic fabric with red webbing straps, featuring white embroidered text reading Mercedes-Benz beneath the brand’s three-pointed star logo. A side strap carries a white tag with a J and the Mercedes-Benz name. The bag includes two front buckled pockets and a detachable shoulder strap. An adhesive label reading 482613 is applied to the console casing.
Condition report:
The Sega console and controllers show significant surface dust and grime accumulation throughout (photos 1 and 4). The controller cables are tangled and the functional condition of all electronic components is untested. The automotive manuals and books exhibit shelf wear, with visible foxing to the page edges and moisture-related warping and staining to the cover of the Ford Fiesta manual (photo 2). The Mercedes-Benz style bag shows signs of use with surface dust and creasing to the fabric, though the metal hardware and straps remain intact (photo 3).
