Notes
A collection some 20 years in the making. Renos Louka from Virginia Water, Surrey specialised in Film & TV models. His interest was due to his occupation of supplying camera and lighting equipment to the film, TV and broadcast industry
A popular Corgi model made between 1971-1973 and part of the ‘Corgi Comics’ range of models. The inimitable Basil Brush character is seated inside his bright red and yellow car. In unused condition with just one little mark at a wheel arch (easily overlooked).
Red plastic wheels and as-new original ‘Corgi Toys’ embossed tyres.
Inside the box is a crisp, bright and clean,* unused ‘Sound Box’ containing intact laugh tapes*. An ambitious idea from Corgi: the pieces of tape inside are meant to sound like Basil’s laughter when the instructions are followed.
The colourfully illustrated outer box is complete, clean and fresh, including the pictorial inner stand. Minor separation at one seam of the inner. Gives the impression of old shop stock. Intact original cellophane. No graffiti or tears. Crisp card. Tiny coner crumple.
Becoming difficult to find in this condition, this makes an excellent investment piece.
