Notes
A sought-after and scarce Gift Set (1966-68) – this is the first and only Interim version we have ever seen. The ‘Exclusively Mini’ Collector tells us:
“I searched for a long time to find an even better example with the red ‘New Spec’ Label. Impossible! I never found another in my collecting life! This is the only interim set I ever saw; the old style lid with the sticker and the new shape polystrene tray.”
This exciting and colourful set comprises:
1) Corgi 1148 Scammell Car Transporter . Very near mint. Barely a mark. Full complement of yellow plastic chocks.
2) Corgi 258 The Saint’s Volvo in white with a red bonnet label. Spun wheels. Very near mint.
3) Corgi 240 Sunbeam Imp in metallic blue. Labels are complete save at the rear which has a couple of tiny nibbles. Near mint plus (suspension not present on 1 wheel). A few small paint marks.
4) Corgi 345 MGC GT in orange, with correct suitcase and sheet of unapplied racing numbers. Spoked wheels. Near mint plus.
5) Corgi 226 Morris Mini Minor in maroon, with cast wheels. Near mint plus.
6) Corgi 339 Mini Cooper ‘S’ Monte Carlo, with roof rack. Cast wheels. Near mint plus ( wear to some labels).
7) Corgi 249 Wickerwork Mini. Very near mint with jewelled headlights (protruding, but as-made and firmly in place).
All contents are housed in a polystyrene tray which is formed for this particular issue (so different shaping for central section when compared with the polystyrene tray for the Ford version). Complete with Corgi label with dog logo still in place.
The colourful card lid is clean, complete and vividly-coloured. Complete and vivid ‘New Specification’ Label.
Very light corner edge rubs to the lid and minor grubbiness in places. If examined very closely a very small part-puncture may be found. Easily overlooked.
Instruction Leaflet with Information on rear folding seats for the Hillman Imp. Reverse has the printed Membership details.
