Notes
This is a scarce early Corgi mechanical car – so hard to find, especially in this condition. In red with a black roof and flat hubs, this model with a flywheel motor (works well) was made for a short time only between 1959-60. The car has a lovely, gleaming, all original paint finish.
Well-shaped original tyres. Shiny flat spun wheels.
Barely a mark to the paint finish.
The blue and yellow picture box is complete and bright. A little age/handling wear. Correct early ‘Moorgate’ Corgi Club Membership Form is included.
