Corgi 468 London Transport Routemaster Bus "Madame Tussaud's". 1970 issue with clear stairs, window box. Near mint plus/boxed. Scarce! From The Monty Calme Collection.
Notes
Issued during 1970, this is an early Routemaster Bus with all the nice details not present in the later issues. Complete labels throughout. Cast wheels. Conductor and driver. Ribbed roof (without the usual box rubs!), jewelled headlights. Cream interior, clear staircase.
Couple of lower edge nibbles to one of the transfers and the occasional negligible dot to the paint finish.The cellophane-fronted box is bright, with intact original cellophane. Minor grubbiness and a couple of card inner tears.
Barely any age wear at all. Resistant end flaps. Remains of a price label at an end flap.
Not an easy variation to find.
