Corgi 421 Land Rover 109WB. Near mint plus. Colour trial version in deep blue. From The 'Monty Calme' Corgi Collection.
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).
