Notes
A rare find, and usually missing from most collections, this is a Routemaster Bus in the *New South Wales livery *with ‘Corgi Classics’ transfers on one side, ‘Naturally Corgi Toys’ on the other, bright shaped spun wheels and jewelled headlights. Correct, distinctive and original finish of brown, cream and green. An authentic example, complete with driver, conductor, post, detailed cream interior, bright yellow staircase, window glazing.
One little chip on the front of the roof, but notably none of the usual rubbing to the ribs on the roof. Complete ‘Corgi Classics’ and ’Naturally Corgi ’transfers.
Light scattering of mere dots/tiny marks to the finish. Light surface splitting to the tyres.
The crisp and clean card pictorial box has strong colours and no tears. Light crease on one picture side and lightest wear besides. Corgi Club Membership Form.
