C405
Corgi 405 Bedford "Utilecon" A.F.S. Tender. Very near mint/boxed. * Bright mid-green* version. Colour promotional booklet is included. Scarce. From the 1200 model Italian collection.
Notes
This is such a delightful early Corgi model – and in superb fresh condition throughout (just 3 little dots to the paint finish may be seen if you scrutinise closely).
Hard to believe this model was first made during 1956, and certainly this must be one of the nicest examples you will find. With a bright, lustrous, mid-green paint finish and complete transfers on both sides.
Both ladders and fitting on roof are in fine condition. Shiny flat spun wheels and an untarnished baseplate.
For comparison , please note the shade difference between this bright green example and the darker green version also available on our website.
The deep blue picture box is exceedingly bright, fresh and crisp. Hard to fault, apart from what looks like a pencil point puncture on one side.
Lovely Corgi Promotional Booklet is included too .
