Notes

We believe the decision to produce this model with green base and bumpers was a last minute decision at Corgi. Note the in-house obliteration of the word ‘plated’ on the window box reverse – and indeed the model image on the box reverse does look as if the bumpers and base are plated. This example is perhaps just one of a very short run, or perhaps the only example of the plated version with red bumpers!
