2) Corgi 345 MGC GT. A difficult find in bright orange (with correct suitcase). Spoked wheels. Virtually mint.
3) Corgi 328 Sunbeam Imp. Very near mint with intact suspension.
4) Corgi 258 The Saint’s Volvo. Orange-red bonnet label and cast wheels. Very close to mint.

This set comes with the Instruction Leaflet for the 1967 Monte Carlo Sunbeam Imp which incorporates a Corgi Club Membership Form & still-sealed packet of traffic cones. Additional Corgi Club Membership Form too.
The colourfully illustrated outer box is vibrant, clean and complete. The original cellophane window is intact. Note the ‘New Specification’ Label (complete) which marks the move from the Ford Transporter issue to this new Scammell version.
