C153
Corgi 153 Proteus Campbell Bluebird Record Car. Near mint/boxed. Early issue with U.S. & U.K. crossed flags. From a very fine private Cheshire collection.
Notes
Issued between 1961-65, this black plastic-wheeled version is in all original condition with intact crossed Union Jack flag and U.S. flag on the nose (this is the earlier version – later issue has one UK and one USA flag).
Usual little rubs/wear to the finish at the wheel arches and minor rubbing at some exposed edges.
The long slim box is very bright, crisp and clean with barley any handling wear at all. Inside you will find the ‘Swansea’ Corgi Club Membership Form neatly folded.
