Corgi 266

Notes

This is the ‘most fantasmagorical’ Corgi toy, in all original, mint condition. Gleaming bright, with all four original figures seated inside. Version with gold band on the radiator. All jewels are present save for one rear ruby, front and rear number plates are intact, as are the delicate carriage lamps. The car functions well: the wings flip out when the handbrake is depressed.
Looks as if it has never been removed from the plastic stand ( original fixings are still in place).

Box underside:

The white plastic inner is present and complete. The blue card cloud scene (often missing) is in fine condition.
This is the harder to find smaller box version. Note the printed ‘ALBERT R.BROCCOLI PRESENTS’ in the top left corner of the header card. Cellophane fronted “window” box is strongly-coloured, clean, with the usual crease on the box reverse where the header card meets the main body of the box. Original cellophane has a wrinkle and a small puncture. We believe the original cellophane became loose at some time and so has been re-glued into place. None of the usual card tears.

Also included is the period promotional poster for this model which would have been sent to Corgi Shopkeeper’s at the time to display in their window:

Mounted onto white card to display, the actual poster is in mint condition and measures approx 21.5 × 30cms. Dated 1967.
