C417
Corgi 417 Land-Rover Breakdown Truck. Very, very near mint/boxed with packing. Early issue from The Cheshire Collection.
Notes
From a discerning, lifelong Corgi enthusiast who sought the very best examples available.
A fine early example with an intact tin canopy, and complete transfers on both sides. Shaped spun wheels (non-suspension issue). No rust on the tin canopy and a very nice bright baseplate. None of the usual rubbing of the ribbing on the cab roof – looks like old shop stock.
Mere pinprick or two if you really want to fault it!
The box is complete with all end flaps intact. Crisp feel. A little edge rubbing/light handling wear.Small puncture has pressed back into place. Period pencilled price at an end flap. Comes complete with the original packing piece.
