Corgi Gift Set 8 'Lions Of Longleat' Gift Set. Very near mint/boxed (wear). Complete with DETACHABLE HEADER CARD. Sought-after EARLY ISSUE. With spun wheels. From 'The New European' Collection.
Notes
Issued between 1968-74, this 1st issue version contains:
’Zebra-striped Land-Rover with an intact circular ‘LIONS OF LONGLEAT’ label on the bonnet (tiny grubbiness). Opened hatch on the cab roof shows the keeper complete with the (usually missing!) rifle. Shiny spun wheels with suspension.
Also included is the plastic lion’s den, correct with two male lions, one female lion. All three may be fixed in place with the little sticky pads applied to the polystyrene plinth and den. Three portions of meat and a red barrel are also still present*. So the full complement of accessories!
The polystyrene plinth is in clean, bright and fresh condition.
The card box is bright and complete with original cellophane intact. Note the little area of surface loss at an end flap where and old price label was removed, we expect. Storage puncture on the box base. Some of the usual handling wear besides.
Notably, this example comes complete with the original, clean and fresh detachable header card/retailer card.
