Notes
This scarce three-piece Gift Set was issued between 1969-71 and comprises:
1) Volkswagen Breakdown Truck finished in white with cast wheels. Racing Club/Corgi Dog logo paper labels on both sides. Hinged red plastic tool box lid opens and inside all the plated tools may be seen.
Faint surface mark to the roof may be possible to clean off carefully.
Stray flick of faint factory silver above the front bumper. Mere dot or two to the paint finish.
Very near mint.
2) Red Racing Car Trailer has cast wheels. Couple of little exposed edge chips. Virtually mint.
3) Corgi 159 Cooper-Maserati in yellow and white. Cast wheels. Blue metal driver with a white helmet. Aerofoil is untarnished. Minor age transparency to the paper label. Couple of little marks head-on. Model is still banded to the trailer.
Very near mint.
Vacuum-formed white plastic inner is complete. Couple of little edge tears but still very good for this type of packaging which becomes more fragile over the years.
Outer cellophane-fronted box is bright and clean, with intact original cellophane. Barely any wear – just a tiny fleck of surface loss at an end flap.
