Corgi 256

Notes

The owner tells us:
“Most of my collection was created in the sixties and beginning of the 70’s.
All models have been in my possession since they were bought.
They were bought from shops during my travels all over Europe: Great Britain, Germany,
France, Italy, Sweden and Denmark”.

A very popular Corgi model – this example is in all original, very close to mint condition, with a fine and gleaming scarlet paint finish. The left-hand drive version has a notably complete detailed bonnet label, complete door numbers and “Nairobi” label. Chrome bumpers, wheels, baseplate, and sparkling jewelled headlights. Rhino.

The colourful card plinth on which car and rhino sit is a most attractive display piece. Crisp, as-new feel to the vibrant, fresh card.

Vividly-coloured backdrop for this model. Both end pull tabs are present and are in firm position, tight to the card plinth. No wheel slot tears, As-new look and feel.
Box reverse has lots of information about the “Beetle”.

The outer box is crisp, bright, and complete, with eye-catching graphics. As-new feel. Lots of end flap spring. Note the 2 period price label at an end flap (tiny surface loss at this site).
Model specific Leaflet included (incomplete).
