Corgi Toys 102 Rice's Pony Trailer

Notes

At QDT, we were thrilled to receive an email one day from the son of Nigel Loveland, the Sales Director for Corgi.
His name is highly significant because many exceptionally rare, pristine, and “factory fresh” Corgi models originally originated from his personal collection or direct factory stock.

This issue has a vivid red body, black chassis, a wire drawbar and flat spun hubs (1959).
Later issues would have a cream paint finish and later still with a cast drawbar.
In sparking unused condition, with barely a (must-be!) factory mark. Wire drawbar is complete and intact, as is the drop-down rear door. The original pony sports a vivid blue rug.

The early blue picture box is bright and complete, with minor storage wear. Nice to see the small card packing piece and printed Corgi Slip.
