Notes
Scarce earliest issue finished in vibrant red and that includes the metal (not plastic) sliding doors. Day-one vibrant red and blue paint finish. None of the usual sunfading to the red or rubbing to the blue ‘Chipperfields’ lettering. Correct that this early issue would have flat spun wheels. Intact tow hook, drawbar, and amber roof glass.
Upon close inspection, you will see a couple of little scratches to one of the amber roof sections. Marks at the hinged metal doors/moving parts (practically unavoidable).
Nice to see that this example includes the unnapplied ‘POLAR BEARS’ transfer, printed notice from Corgi, ‘Moorgate’ Corgi Club Membership Form, and packing card! Two polar bears still in the original sealed packet are included too!
Lift-off lid pictorial box has barely a mark! Shopkeeper’s period penned price on the base underside.
A very fine example of this scarce early issue with accessories, leaflets and unapplied transfers.
