Can anyone recall this? What about other brand new Brens, does anyone have one out of a box?

Andrew,
I knew of one out of a crate, in Sussex, the owner used to bring it out on occasions, last I saw of it was on a RBL Parade at Cranbrook, it was still as it left the factory, with the maple leaf transfers on the side......sadly it broke down with a duff coil.
