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.
Monty says:
" A colour trial of the Corgi 421 Land Rover Safari model that was never produced. Often the production department would try many different colours/finishes to see what worked".
This colour trial of the Corgi 421 Land Rover Safari model has a deep blue paint finish with a tan interior, black bumper and base. Intact tow hook. Opening rear door. Window glazing. Spare wheel on the bonnet. Roof sign (blank). In close to mint condition with barely a mark.
A similar Land Rover model went into production as part of Corgi Gift Set 44 (the French issue Gift Set which includes a lighter blue POLICE Range Rover).
