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:
?I bought this colour trial piece from QDT many years ago. I love it as it’s so different!"
This is a two-tone colour trial using both of the issued colours of salmon and beige. Lemon interior and shaped spun wheels. Jewelled headlights. An eye-catching item, and a shame that this particular version never went into production. Note the rubbing/quality of the paint in places where the two colours meet.
Mooted but never produced, this is probably a unique item, or at the very least one of only a handful produced. Made at some point during the production run 1962-65.
