Notes
A truly outstanding example of this sought-after Corgi model; just about the nicest example we have had in a long while!
The car is absolutely gleaming; paint finish, all chrome parts, baseplate. Complete original paper label on the bonnet. Very minor age transparency on the label – but we are being extra-fussy here!
Functions perfectly.
Small dab of factory silver on one door.
The original ring is included – very bright and fresh too!
The colourful card plinth is very crisp, fresh and bright, with just a little wear on one wheel slot.
The outer box too is clean and fresh – this example has been very carefully looked-after. Small pen mark on one non-picture face.
Period price label is still attached to one end flap. Both inner packing rings which fit over the top of the roof button are included, along with the Corgi Club Membership Form:
A beautiful example that would be difficult to better and a premium piece to add to your collection.
