Notes
What an exceptional set this is! With just one owner from new – this is an excellent-near mint, all original and complete example, issued between 1966-69.
It comprises:
1)John Steed’s Bentley in red and black finish, complete with all parts, and including the figure of John Steed at the wheel. In near mint condition, with a few little pinhead-sized marks on the driver side running board and small chips at the front bumper. A few small marks besides.
2) Emma Peel’s Lotus Elan S2 is in sparkling white finish. Excellent-near mint condition, with a peppering of small marks at the rear of the car. Suspension on shaped spun wheels. Original figure of Emma Peel.
We believe that the minor marking on both cars have been caused during storage or in transit to us – certainly not due to playwear.
Three original umbrellas. Nearly always missing – certainly rare to find all three originals!
Inner card plinth is in crisp condition with excellent vivid colours. It looks shop-fresh! Minor wear at just one wheel slot.
Outer box is complete and bright with only minor age wear. It has a shopkeeper’s price in ink on one side and it appears that attempts have been made to erase it, so the colour of the card just at this area is a little lighter. A price label is still affixed at one end flap, too. Price inked on the other end flap. It comes complete with the original white wrap-around packing card, which is rarely present. A bright, clean and unfolded Corgi Club Membership Form included.
A beautiful set which is difficult to find complete and authentic these days.
