Notes
This popular Corgi Gift Set was inspired by the children’s t.v. programme Daktari (Swahili for doctor!) and is complete.
It contains:
1) Corgi 438 Land Rover in green with black stripes. Virtually mint. So often the transfer immediately below the windscreen flakes away, this example has an intact transfer.
It comes complete with tiger on the bonnet, Dr. Marsh Tracy (with his chimp, but no stethoscope). Suspension on shining, shaped spun wheels. Well-shaped original tyres. Figures of Paula and of course, the cross-eyed lion Clarence, complete with spectacles! So often these sets are found with the spectacles missing.
The cellophane-fronted window box is clean and bright, with attractive vivid illustrations. Really crisp, fresh feel. Couple of small flecks of surface loss at an end flap.
Not even the usual crease at box reverse. All end flaps are intact. Intact original cellophane window.
Bright card inner is pristine. Corgi Club Membership Form. *Card packing piece *which fits under the card plinth for support.
