Notes
From an important high quality Corgi collection which includes pre-production/colour trials, promotional models, t.v. related items and very rare pieces. Please see our Blog on this collector.
Rare to come to the market place. This is the Dutch promotional issue with complete and vivid ‘POLITIE’ bonnet and boot lettering. This Zephyr model is finished in crisp white, with a vivid red interior, an intact aerial and the early (small) blue light on the roof. Flat spun wheels and a grey baseplate. Suspension on all four wheels. Fine, as-new tyres. Silver trim.
In all original condition. Little stray dot of factory silver on the roof toward the rear and another small stray smudge of factory silver at a window post. A couple of very small bumper over-rider marks.
An exceptional find – particularly in this condition.
The box continues the theme with bright, fresh colours on crisp, intact card. Note the all-important factory stamp ‘POLITIE’ at an end flap . No tears. Lightest wear only (very minor shelf grubbiness on one surface).
Comes with the original card packing piece.
Just about the best you will ever see.
