If that's not included, it might be possible to assume that it's the same as many other lego boxes where the parts are just bagged in the box. A collector would know that the insert should be there. | |

The blue wishbone pieces for the suspension are also quite rare and prone to breaking (IIRC). Your best bet would be to take the inventory of this set from a trusted source (Bricklink, Brickset, etc) and check the part IDs along with the count of each type of piece. This way you can be 100% sure your set is complete, the rest can be photographed to show the general quality. If a buyer is picky about something, they would ask. | |
