Notes
This is a pleasing example of this popular Corgi model, presented in the winged blister-style box. Not an easy model to find. The Jaguar has a bright mid-blue metallic finish, black interior, spoked wheels, opening doors, bonnet (revealing a detailed engine), and boot. Detailed interior has tip up seats and a rear sliding seat. Nicely detailed on the underside too. As-new, fine tread tyres with ‘Corgi Toys’ embossed. Brightest chrome bumpers and distinctive recessed headlights. Complete label at the rear.
In very close to mint; obviously unused condition.
Few tiny marks visible only to the gimlet-eyed.
The attractive box is very fine indeed – crisp, fresh and bright card with all the delicate parts intact – and that includes the clear plastic ‘bubble’. So often found broken or brittle and yellowed! Unpunched header card too. Front edge of the card (a vulnerable area that is often worn) has tiny wear only. Bright card plinth (as-new card) on which the car sits.
Plenty of information on the Jaguar at box reverse.
Delighted to see that it comes with the detachable winged card piece too. Clean, bright and very fresh – light crease at one end only.
Period price is penned on the underside of the box base.
An exciting Corgi model to add to your collection!
