Corgi Gift Set 38

Notes

We are especially delighted to offer this scarce original Gift Set for sale.

The set comprises:
1) Corgi 318 Mini Cooper ‘S’ in bright red finish with a white roof, jewelled head and spotlights. In very near mint condition, with the occasional tiny transfer nick, shaped spun wheels with suspension.

2) Corgi 322 Rover 2000 in lustrous metallic maroon finish with a white roof. Graded very, very near mint. Complete Monte Carlo labels and Racing number ‘136’ on both doors. Shaped spun wheels with suspension, jewelled headlights and “Trans-O-Lite” lights. A beauty!

3) Corgi 323 Citroen DS19 in pale blue finish with a white roof. Virtually mint condition! Shaped spun wheels with suspension, jewelled lights, intact aerial on the roof. Racing number ‘75’ on both sides, Rally labels on bonnet and boot. Another high quality example.

The colourfully-illustrated detailed card plinth on which each car sits is in clean, bright and fresh condition. Barely any wear and some of the push-out slots where the cars sit are still in situ.

Notably, this set comes with all the original packing pieces i.e. the white card surround for each model and the white card packing piece which is placed on top of the models.

Remarkably, original tissue has survived. Only the second time we have ever seen this set with original tissue wrapping.

The pictorial all-card outer box is complete, clean, fresh and bright, showing minimal handling and careful storage. Tiniest start of an edge tear and very light wear. Period price is neatly penned on an end flap.

One of the most sought-after Corgi Gift Sets – not often found with all original packing pieces.
Note the Swedish promotional Monte Carlo Rally Matchbox which is included in this listing – still with its full complement of matches.
