C203
Corgi 203 Vauxhall Velox Saloon. Very rare find in mid-GREY. Possible factory colour trial piece. Near mint plus/boxed. From a dedicated Corgi collector in The Home Counties.
Notes
Another first for QDT! This is an extremely difficult find in mid-grey.
Pleasing shining paint finish with silver trim, tinplate base and flat spun wheels (Corgi period accessory wheel trims have been added at some time). Unclear whether the red tail lights are original or later additions. Well-shaped treaded tyres.
We surmise that this model could be a factory colour trial piece or an extremely small run.
Chip at a roof edge and a few very minor marks besides.
Bright picture box has a little handling/age grubbiness. Light rubbing /wear. No tears or graffiti.
An exciting find!
