Notes
The Monty Calme landmark Corgi Collection, covering the width and breadth of Corgi models amassed over decades by an exuberant collector. The Monty Calme collection is a truly astonishing gathering of the best of Corgi models and ephemera, including rare and unique pieces and point of sale items. The largest collection we have ever seen
This popular Corgi model was issued between 1962-67 in a wide variety of colour finishes.
This issue has the unusual and distinctive shade of metallic mid-blue (peacock blue), with a bright red interior.
Spun wheels and suspension on all four wheels. Jewelled headlights, opening bonnet and boot. Two pieces of luggage (one large opening suitcase and another deeper brown case – the latter not usually found with these Jaguar models).

The box is bright, clean and complete. Light age/handling wear only. Period shop price label at an end flap. Corgi Club Membership Form is included.
A scarce and attractive colour issue.
