C433
Corgi 433 Volkswagen Delivery Van. Very near mint. AUTHENTIC PROTOTYPE FROM THE PROPERTY OF MARCEL VAN CLEEMPUT, CHIEF DESIGNER FOR CORGI 1956-83.
Notes
Originally sold by us a few years ago as part of the Austrian collection we were handling; several models in this collection were pre-production/prototype items, purchased directly by the Austrian collector as a consequence of his friendship with Marcel van Cleemput.
This example now comes back to us again, since the London collector is now parting with some of his models.
A typical prototype model in resin for the Corgi 433 Volkswagen Delivery Van, although note that this particular colour combination never went into production. Little mark on the roof. Correct that the wheels are fixed and do not turn.
An unique piece of Corgi history.
