Notes
We are pleased to offer for sale this unique group of items which capture a moment in Corgi’s history during 1974.
The production item Corgi 1103 Chubb Pathfinder from 1974 was finished in red. An Airport Emergency Tender in yellow was mooted and in fact 6 (only) were made, complete with the water cannon feature. However, the project was abandoned. The owner informs us correctly that The Great Book of Corgi has a little error. Marcel Van Cleemput may not have remembered quite correctly, see pages 313, plate 625 & page 412 plate 835. The model pictured (on page 412 should have been included earlier on page 313.
This rare example in yellow is in very near mint (couple of probably factory-assembly marks) and includes pump accessory.
The large header card window box is bright, fresh and complete with original intact cellophane. Crisp. Minimal handling. Careful storage. With intact and virtually pristine card insert. Note this is the early Corgi Major (upper case)and ‘1103’ in red print at end flaps.
Also included:
This model was part of lot number 2015 in the sale of Marcel Van Cleemput’s items at Losch Auction, 2000.
