C383
Original Corgi Factory Model for Corgi 383 Volkswagen 1200. Another fascinating item 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.
From the Losch Auction, this is an accurate factory ‘twice size’ model for Corgi 383 VW 1200. Resin. An unique insight into the manufacturing process. See page 26-7 in The Great Book of Corgi for more explanation of the design process.
Lacks a small section of the front bumper. Few little scratches.
