We can supply Group 1 typewriter ribbons at £4.95 each including postage. Available in plain black, red/black, blue and purple. You would then rewind the new ribbon onto the Smith Corona spools already in the typewriter .A ribbon will last you a long time and to give you an idea , in an office environment with someone using a typewriter professionally a ribbon would last them around 3 months .
It all works and types well and is in a good condition with only a few minor marks and feint scratches and some discolouration mainly on the left hand side .It's lid or case is fully functional and clips down over the typewriter . There are a few marks and scratches in places to the lid . It has a handle that pulls out from the front to carry it around and the Ghia logo on the case top as well as the black racing stripes.
