London Transport Routemaster Bus 'HOUSE OF LORDS GIN' by Corgi Toys, No. 468. Rare version. Very near mint/boxed. From The Wesley Lodge Collection.
Notes
A rare find indeed.
This Corgi Routemaster Bus is in very close to mint condition with a gleaming bright red original paint finish. Nicely detailed bus with all the little details, not present in later issues. Shiny spun wheels.
With BOOTH’S HOUSE OF LORDS GIN’ label complete on both sides.
Just a couple of little marks at the rear.
The brightly-coloured, crisp and complete card picture box has light wear.
Many thanks to two of our customers for letting us know that they have an example of this model. Both have the labels overlaid on OUTSPAN transfers. Both were purchased in the U.S.
