Corgi Gift Set 20 'Golden Guinea' Set. Near mint plus/boxed, with 2 card packing inserts & 2 still-sealed Accessory Packs. A rare set from The Monty Calme Collection.
Notes
Issued between 1961-64, this is a rare and sought-after Gift Set!
The few examples that come to the market place nearly always have models with a poor, heavily pitted paint finish. The comparatively fragile boxes are often in a very poor state. This example has fared better than many of the surviving examples.
This dazzling gold-plated set comprises:
1) 224 Bentley Continental, with general light surface pitting to the finish (these models are nearly always found with a poor finish). Intact bonnet emblem, red interior, spun wheels. Jewelled front and rear lights. Original, as-new grey tyres.
2) 229 Chevrolet Corvair, with general light surface pitting to the finish, red interior. Smooth-running original tyres.
3) 234 Ford Consul. With general light surface pitting, red interior, and fine tyres. Gold plated base too!
All three cars sit within a two-tier card tray which is bright and clean, looking fresh with minor wear caused by the models.
Outer sleeve is bright and deeply-coloured, complete with intact original cellophane window notably.
Some creasing and storage wear. Note the small area of surface loss disguised at sone time with deep green-blue ink.
Included are 2 still-sealed Accessory Packs.
