Notes
An exceptional find from this collector.
Production of Corgi 205M (mechanical) version ended in 1959 and unused blue-painted body shells were left over. Fitted with a 205 tinplate baseplate, they were largely used in Corgi Gift Set 1 Transporter Sets from 1960.
Shiny base and flat spun wheels. Well-shaped tyres with a fine tread.
A few small marks to the paint finish. An extremely difficult find in any condition.
The blue and yellow picture box is bright and complete. Shows light age/handlign wear and a very small stain t the tuck-in section of one large end flap.
