C405
Corgi 405 Bedford Fire Tender 'Fire Dept'. Very, very near mint/boxed. *Rare NON-MECHANICAL version*. Red, split screen, black ladders. Superb example in shop-fresh box, complete with promotional leaflet. From The Berkshire Collection.
Notes
This is a rare non-mechanical version of the Bedford ‘FIRE DEPT’ Van finished in vibrant red with perfect lettering and logo on both sides, black ladders, flat spun wheels, and a divided windscreen. Rare model in old shop stock condition!
One (probably factory assembly ) mark at the rear and that’s it!
The early blue pictorial box is so crisp, clean and bright! Really difficult to find these early boxes so nice. Handling crease at an end flap (minor). Lovely as-new promotional booklet included too.
Few of these non-mechanical versions were made. An outstanding super scarce early commercial Corgi model!
