Corgi Prototype Mercedes-Benz Coach. Pictured on page 470 of The Great Book of Corgi. From 'The New European' Collection.
Notes
An exceptional collection of prototypes were purchased by ?The New European? Collector, largely originating from two well-documented sources i.e. the auction of the property of Marcel Van Cleemput at Sotheby?s Auction House in 1999 and the Losch Auction House in Germany during 2000.
Measuring approx. 26cms, this Mercedes Coach prototype in white with a blue mid-line stripe and silver trim is composed of plastic, with a detailed bright red interior, window glazing (save for the windscreen area which is unglazed), steering wheel, and three orange roof lights, silver wheels and black tyres. Small split to two of the tyres.
Never went into production.
