Corgi 1126
Corgi 1126 Ecurie Ecosse Racing Car Transporter. Near mint plus/boxed. With 3 card packing pieces. From The Reference Collection.
Notes
This is the first issue from 1961 in deep metallic blue finish with raised orange “ECURIE ECOSSE” lettering on both sides. Shaped spun wheels. Lemon interior. Grey base. A great item to display especially with a selection of Corgi racing cars from the same era – this transporter would hold three.
Difficult to find mint, since they were popular at the time – a firm favourite for ‘transporting’ Corgi cars around. This example has a little marking to the paint finish mostly at the drop-down ramp. Nice to see the yellow label still in place above the cab.
The colourfully illustrated pictorial box is bright and clean. Minor wear (little rubs).Three original card packing pieces:
